[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 466284"] If it can read DVDs, it will be listed in your Hardware as either a ComboDrive or a SuperDrive. The difference is that the SuperDrive allows to read [I]AND[/I] write to a DVD, while a ComboDrive only reads them (which would be fine for the install media, btw). [B][I]Edited to add:[/I][/B] Will you be ordering online at the Apple Store or going to an Apple Store or a Mac store near you? I'm asking because if you order online it might be a longer process. I don't think you can ask directly for the CD version. So you'll have to order the DVD version: once you receive it, you have to fill out [URL="http://images.apple.com/macosx/pdf/TigerMXOrderForm.pdf"][B]this pdf form[/B][/URL], return the DVD and send in a check for $9.95US then they'll return the CD version. It would be less of a hassle, I think, if you went to a store and asked directly for the CD version, perhaps? [/QUOTE]
