New Mac Pro (Early 2008): Tiger bootable?

I have an installation for a video editing facility happening early next month. I need to purchase 20 Mac Pros, but the editing application only runs under 10.4.11. Leopard version is just getting ready to reach beta which means the final candidate won't be out for a while. Does anyone know if the new MP's will boot Tiger? I would hate to have to buy the older version unless it was absolutely necessary...

Thanks

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

+I believe... too much issue... might be... boot tiger using bootcamp.... as I haven't tried... but it could....+

+... so that will fix that if you get it to work....+

All of which leaves my head spinning and kindof misleading, to say the least.

You can get them to boot into Tiger by geting a disk Image of a Aluminum imac with a ATI 2600 Radeon Video card. Or starting up of of the same iMac.
