I have a powerpc g4 400 Mhz 640mb of ram and a 74gb HD

can this run leopard? I ask this because I read other people have got it to work, but when I put the leopard disk in the machine, it tells me this machine can not run leopard :*(

No. Leopard will only run on the newer Intel based Macs. It will not run on any of the PowerPC based Macs.

hope this isnt a stupid question, but all macs do use INTEL cpus right? Also my gf has a Macbook g4, with 2gb or ram. That can def take leopard correct?

all mac's don't use Intel cpu's. The model your girlfriend has isn't a macbook g4 it's a powerbook g4 which runs on the powerpc cpu.

here's a good collection of the mac line-up and what the processors are. All the one's listed as powerbook or powerpc run on the powerpc cpu.

Basically, if it states a G series in the name, it isnt a Intel CPU.
