does it work with OS 10.5.8

My MacPro uses OS 10.5.8.
I seem to need 10.6.4 to use the magic trackpad I bought.
How do I update the Mac OS?

I frequently run windows on my imac, will the trackpad work on windows?

I'm an engineer and my simulators often don't work on OSX. I'd really like the functionality of the trackpad on my circuit simulators.

Work on the old PCPower Mini? (the Magic Trackpad)

I have the old PowerPc Mini (Intel came out just three weeks later--ugh!!)
Now, may I use the Magic Trackpad with this mini? I believe I have OS 10.5.8 but not 10.6--is that a problem? DV

How can I tell the Magic Trackpad power is off?

When I push the power button to toggle power, the device continues to work regardless of power state. How do I turn it off and know it is off?

Simplest way to switch between a MAC and IMAC using 1 Trackpad?

I have maxed out my MACPRO using 6 displays. I have a 7th display running an IMAC in the center of the 6 displays. I'd like to be able to use the Trackpad on the center IMAC but switching between MACPRO and IMAC needs to be effortless.
Is this possible?

Would my iMacs RAM effect tracking speed/lag when using the magic trackpad?

I am currently running a stock 21.5 " i5 iMac 4GB RAM and notice that I only max out about 2.50 Gb or so memory when multitasking and using the system normally.

I recently purchased a magic trackpad which I have had replaced by Apple as my old one was faulty and have found that in one spot of the trackpad I get slight cursor delay.

This was the exact same problem (there were other problems also with my old one) that happened with my previous trackpad so I'm starting to think this now must be a software fault.

Unless there are any issues with mountain lion (I'm running the latest version) that I'm not aware of the only other explanation I can think of is the RAM.

Would RAM have an effect on cursor delay on a trackpad? I find it hard to believe I've had two trackpads with the same issue and it has been in the exact same place (In the bottom right hand corner of the pad)

Would upgrading my RAM to 8GB have any effect?

Any thoughts on the issue?

(I was also thinking it may be related to the notification centre gesture in some way as you have to swipe with two fingers from the right to active this)
