Greetings ( + )!( + )

Welcome to our world. Do you know it the platform that you were given 
has Memory? To run Tiger on a G4 AGP you should have at least:

- 512 MB of RAM are almost unusable under Tiger.
- 512 MB of RAM are usable under Panther.
- 1024 MB of RAM is perfectly usable under Tiger & Panther.

I'm running Panther and have 1750 MB and everything runs just fine.

As for the version of Tiger that you need depends on whether you a CD 
or a DVD drive installed in the box. I believe that you can not 
purchase a CD version of Tiger, but you can get the CD version directly 
from Apple. Other wise you will need the retail version which should 
install on all platforms. You would not be able to use one that is 
marked for the iMac or eMac or any of the specialized models that are 
offer by Apple.
