[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 820689, member: 2960"] There were two 400Mhz PowerBook G3's, the "Lombard (bronze keyboard)" and the "Pismo". To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs: * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor * Built-in FireWire * At least 256 MB of RAM * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools Now assuming that you have a "Pismo" PowerBook G3, you should have met all of the hardware requirements. However, the message you are receiving would indicate that you probably have a "Lombard" PowerBook G3. You won't be able to install Tiger on it because since you wouldn't have built-in FireWire ports, you don't meet the requirements for 10.4 Tiger. [/QUOTE]
