"Leopard started out with a generous share of first-version glitches, but almost all of them have now been resolved by the second of two automated updates, which brings Leopard up to version 10.5.2. Finally, Leopard is extravagantly overdressed for the jobs that it's designed to do, and its pervasive eye-candy starts out looking dazzling but soon becomes distracting. Fortunately, from the beginning, the OS started out with options that let you put it on a low-eye-sugar diet, and the latest update has even more."

Tyrlone,
The guy was trying to help? I'm glad noone else tried to help, a war could have started - lol...
It could be the installer, but more likely, it is something the installer is trying to do that your machine fails to do...
Anyway, good luck if you try and work it out...

Kingston is very good ram, it's branded well known ram and if I had to put a computer together I'd put Kinston ram in(my custom made computer is and has)
The computer place I used to work at swore by it, rarely did they get any bad ram back and usually switched it with people having bad ram issues themselves. I may not be talking about Mac's but they use the same kingston ram(assuming they do at all) and if the manufacture recommends it you have a case if anything goes wrong, unlike non recommended ram no matter how good it clams to be.

Oh that's right! Kensington and Crucial are cheap third party RAM!
They work great in Tiger but they stink up the joint in Leopard.
Sorry: The Installer.app is BROKEN.
Who said anything about those brands? Are you admitting to also being gjames, the person who first posted about being unable to install Leopard?

If you're using cheap third party RAM, you might consider something more stable.
It's a mixed bag. I installed it on my 15.2 inch PowerBook G4 only to see performance drop in a big way, while Intel-based machines have seen the opposite.
I re-formatted the drive last night and re-installed and the performance drop is even more significant for some reason.
It's a good operating system, but Apple often targets things they want, things that have little meaning to consumers. I don't use Dashboard Widgets or Exposé but they certainly garner attention because of their visuals. "
