What OS is currently loaded on it?

- If it already has Tiger on it...are you willing to spend $100+ to purchase 10.5 Leopard.
- Your decision may also depend on what programs you're interested in using. Some programs or versions of programs may require OS 10.5.
- OS 10.5 has some features 10.4 "Tiger" doesn't have...such as the backup program "Time Machine".

If your Leopard disc is he black full retail install DVD, format the drive and whack that on it.
