  Final Cut Pro 6.0.5
  G Drive Q 250 gig ( FW 800 )

  I’m just trying to squeeze what i can out of my G4 before I move on to a new MacbookPro.
  The G4 still works good,sept it crashes a lot and I’ve become accustomed to saving often. I should add I’m a just hobbiest that gets a few paying gigs here and there. I’m waiting on a new Battery, ( warrantied, glad I checked before I bought one from e-bay ) but I have noticed less crashing since I’ve only been using the powersupply with the battery not in. Maybe only consequential .
  My question is,
  Would I be better off restoring with OS X 10.4.11 or upgrading to Leopard. My concern is the extra power/ram that Leopard consumes. Or is it negligible?
  I’m using this system to run Final Cut Pro, Fireworks MX, Photoshop, I tunes,and an older version of After Effects. I should add that I’m planning on wiping the drive with files backed up on the exteral HD
  Thanks , Dean
