    Tiger OSX on G3

    My friend has bought a brand new Intel G5 iMac and he has installed Tiger OSX on his machine. I have the older G3 machine and I also want to install Tiger OSX on my machine. Is it possible to install and run Tiger OSX on G3 ? How can I do that ?
    please give some ideas...

    Before installing Tiger on your G3, you will need a license to run Tiger on that iMac. This means you will need to buy a retail version of Tiger. Then you can send that to Apple and get it replaced as the CD version. You might be able to directly order the CD version as well.
    For me, it is simple to run 10.3.9 on that computer. On the other hand, Tiger on low RAM conditions (say 640 MB and less) is definitely slower.

    Tiger on G3 machines are not well compatible. If you possibly download Tiger(from any source), then it would run extremely slow. Instead, I would suggest you to upgrade G3 to G4 or G5. Tiger performs decently on these machines..

    I was have a G3 machine, a Beige G3 on which I was running 10.3.9. Whwn I thought to install Tiger on my machine, many suggested to use XPostFacto 4. I tried to upgrade to Tiger but failed miserably using XPostFacto 4. Well, you can try installing Tiger on your G3 machine using XPostFacto.

    Hope it works for you !!! goodluck
