There are, AFAIK two ways to load Tiger onto the old Clamshells. The obvious way is to use XpostFacto from Other World Computing, then load the OS. It's free, but you'll have to have your Tiger OS on CD rather than DVD. I've had mixed results with XP, but there are some Old World Macs that this would be your only avenue. Fortunately, there is another way to do this: you load the OS onto a hard drive in your 466 Clamshell, then move the drive over to the 300 mhz models. They'll run Tiger then with no problem as long as you've put at least a 256 meg stick of ram in the one and only memory slot. Frankly, the 512 meg sticks have come down to such a reasonable price, I can't emphasize enough how much better they'll run with a 512 meg stick, plus the on-board memory (32 or 64 megs, depending whether your 300 mhz Clamshell were first generation or second). I have a number of non-firewire Clamshells running Tiger very nicely. Hope this helps and good luck.
