Go right ahead...your system will run Tiger just fine!

Hi everyone,

I'd like to upgrade by adding Tiger (replacing Panther)  CS 2.
(replacing photoshop 6)  I want to run an updated browser  web design
software compatible w/ tiger.  I know little about computers except
creating art in Photoshop,so would appreciate any suggestions.  I'm
considering a newer Mac if this isn't possible. Below are the
specs:

Dual 533 MHz Mac G4, 1.12 GB SRAM, L2 Cache: 1 MB (per cpu) - Bus
speed: 133 MHz. Memory: up to 1.5 GB Max;+ 128 SRAM
This computer is partitioned - 1. OS 9.2.2, 57.26 GB capacity; 35.14
GB available.
   2. OSX 10.3.9 Panther

Thank you!

Mark


You could even do a little poking around and install Leo on there 
and it would run fine. :D


(Leo takes a workaround for under 876MHz G4's, but dual 533MHz might 
even be faster then an 876MHz...)


Tiger will likely run faster for you than Panther on that machine.

I have a near identical DA.

Leopard should work as well, but it may be a little slower than Tiger.
