[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 634643, member: 42497"] For sure Tiger as you have been advised on your AGP Sawtooth model. One very important thing if you have not used OS X previously, you have to update the firmware to 4.2.8 and probably f1 after that. If you go to About this Mac and click on More info, the firmware appears as CD Boot Rom version, second bottom line. If it is not 4.2.8 whilst running OS 9 go to the Apple web site and look for Firmware Upgrades and download both the 4.2.8 upgrade AND the insturctions as this is on e of the only times you will ever use the program mer's button on the front pan el. After upgrading, launch into an erase and install version of Tiger. If you have some OS 9 programs, make sure you select 'Install OS 9 Driversl on reformat. [/QUOTE]
