my brother has exactly the same config' (tiger, 640mb etc). i've used  
it a few times and it's still a great machine: fine for entry-level  
graphic work (working with picts from a digicam, webdesign, layouts  
in indesign, etc). obviously if your friend is a pro graphic  
designer, then a ram upgrade may not be enough!
