Hey guys, Leopard is on my 15" mbp 2.16ghz 1gb RAM right now... i dont have any fancy boot disks or anything like that... I inserted the DVD and updated Tiger to Leopard...

I didnt erase/uninstall/reformat anything...

my question is.... Should I do a fresh/reformatted install of Leopard? Would I see any differences in performance?

Leopard is running ALMOST flawlessly...with the exception of some minor bugs, so is it worth the risk of having a buggy re-install?

Sorry - I didn't see that thread - could you link to it?
If you've fixed them, I wouldn't bother - if they are still present, perhaps an archive and install would help, it depends what the 'bug' is.
