Q: where can you buy tiger?

Hello,

Tiger Requirements...

To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:

    * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor

    * Built-in FireWire

    * At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)

    * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation

    * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools  (I recommend 20GB minimum)
