Can anyone from G_soft say anything assuring about AC11 working under the about-to-be-released Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard?

Hello
I have another question
I tried to install AC9 on IMAC 2,4 DUO INTEL and i had some problem:
when it asks for installing path it shows that i have 0 kb free space and that is impossible. I think is a error or something
Is possible that ac9 is not compatible with Leopard INTEL based processors?
I really could use some help with this
Thank you

The AC9 installer doesn't work on Intel-based Macs, but AC9 itself seems to work fine. You should copy an AC9 installation from a PPC-based Mac instead.

worked OK for me, but then I installed 9 before any other versions of ArchiCAD. ..... I installed 10 and 11 installed after this
All work OK

It is new in Leopard and is specifically to do with the ATI video card heating up as I understand it. It did recur for me after I installed the first update but it hasn't happened again since the weather cooled off a few days ago.
matthew - has there been any improvement on this with the leopard graphics update and the recent ATI firmware patch?

cheers

I am working almost exclusively now on my new Mac Pro with the Nvidia card, so I don't have any recent experience with the ATI problem.
In another thread I mentioned that my experience is that you'd better have a boatload of RAM for any NON-Intel Mac (G5), or use an Intel Mac.

How much is a boatload?

For me it's working perfectly on a Macbook Pro C2D 2.4GHz with 3Gb RAM.
