[X4U] Tiger on older Mac?

[Kunga]

Is that a clamshell? What speed processor? It must have a FireWire port 
you know. I would recommend the RAM be maxed out. although Apple says 
256 minimum, I think 512 would be inadequate. 768 or a gig would be my 
suggestion.

In any event it has got to be faster than any previous version. I wish 
you good luck and hope your wife is pleasantly surprised. If her iBook 
is too slow without enough RAM or not enough free hard drive space, I 
suggest selling it and buying a new iBook.
