[QUOTE="Badger, post: 122705"] For info on this model you can go to [url]www.lowendmac.com[/url]. For your specific questions: The 333 mhz model does not support Tiger - 10.4. Panther - 10.3.9 - is latest (and last) system that is compatible due to hardware limitations. Also, this model came with a 6 gb hard drive, so it appears that the HD has been replaced. You're right about the 8 gb partition being necessary but you don't lose the rest; it will appear as a second hard disk. Note that this may be a later model; from your description of 10 gb hard drive and Tiger installed it may be a 350 or 400 mhz model. You can tell very easily by the CD drive; if it has a pop-out tray it is from the original series (233 to 333 mhz). If the CD is a slot-loading version it is a later model. [/QUOTE]
