[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 380689, member: 8287"] Ok, that is a G4 tower code named Yikes. I would install a DVD ROM internally as that is the only way you will get it to install from that DVD. I have had good luck with Sony DVD drives in Macs. Another thing though, your specs show 64Megs RAM. 10.4 Tiger will not really run with 64Megs and be VERY slow. I would recommend upping the ram to at least 256Megs but 512Megs if you can. That machine takes PC100 SDRAM. Most PC133 as long as the module does not have High Density chips will work also. If we can help in any other way let us know. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
