10.3.7 is not Tiger. It is Panther. To get Tiger on that Mac you would need to find a Tiger Install DVD. It also may be able to run 10.5, Leopard (not Snow Leopard).
If it came with 10.3.7, then that is the very first Mac Mini. It has a Motorola PowerPC CPU and can only be upgraded as far as 10.5.8
