[QUOTE="Padawan, post: 122767, member: 273"] It's not that OS X Tiger will [u]require[/u] OS 9 being installed in order to run, I just suggested that you keep it because I feel it's a good idea to. First, it's not very large, so it won't waste much drive space. But more importantly, as I stated above, XPostFacto is an OS 9 application. If for some reason you encounter an issue with XPF or Tiger (it's happened once or twice with my Beige G3 running Panther via XPostFacto), you'll have no way to download or run XPF to try to remedy the situation if you've deleted OS 9. Then you'll basically have a large paperweight until you get a Panther installation disk (or a Tiger disk [i]and[/i] an OS 9 disk). As for RAM, you shouldn't have an issue using two 256 MB sticks for a total of 512 MB. [/QUOTE]
