[QUOTE="bryphotoguy, post: 606918, member: 26695"] I am pretty sure you can't get Tiger on the new Mac Pros. The retail copy of Tiger is for PPC Macs, not Intel Macs. I haven't opened my Pro yet to see if I am getting Tiger or Leopard restore discs. If it only comes with Leopard restore discs, you won't get Tiger installed on the 2.8GHz Pro. If you want to save a few pennies, get the Quad. The two processors are mainly for video work. If you want to save a few extra pennies, buy my 2.66GHz Quad. It's only slightly slower in real world tests and it's got Tiger, plus a ton of upgrades. I've been using Leopard on my Pro since the day it came out; I've never had an issue. [/QUOTE]
