It doesn't look like it:

Core Image-capable graphics cards include:

* ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
* ATI Radeon 9550, 9650, 9600, 9600 XT, 9800 XT, X800 XT
* nVidia GeForce FX Go 5200
* nVidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra
* nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL, 6800 GT DDL

It doesn't mean though that you can't install Tiger. Just some optimizations that CoreImage does won't be visible with that Mac.

I have written an upgrade FAQ if you want to learn how to upgrade:

Thats fine.

I will just stick with Panther, X.3.9, I am just wanting to get the best video/app performance out of this computer...

A little game play, video editing, internet, email...
