Is Lion worth the upgrade from Snow-Leopard and Can this be done from a Tiger based machine - it has an Intel core 2 Duo processor on the machine with Tiger installed.

Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended) are the specs needed to upgrade.

Is it worth it ?? That can only be answered by you my friend.
For me yes it was worth the upgrade but i had SL on my machine to start with.

The choice is yours now

Cheers

Thanks for the reply mate, it seems like it might be a good move for me, thanks for the information, what version of Tiger will the stock standard one be? 10.6.4?

What now you have to think though is it worth upgrading to SL being 10.6.6-10.6.8 which both of these have the MAS which is needed to goto Lion. Tiger is 10.4.x.

So what I'm getting at is you need SnowLeopard 10.6 but need to then update to 10.6.6 or 10.6.8 to get the Mac App Store to be able to dl Lion to install it.
That a little clearer ??

Cheers
