Welcome to our forums.

Looks like Tiger 10.4.11 is highest you can install on that machine. Going to be difficult to find an install Tiger DVD especially since you're going to need to need the "all machine version" and not the one specific for your model. That machine is considered vintage by Apple so your best bet is to look on eBay.

Heck, Apple classed that model as Obsolete in early 2010!!! :Smirk:
