Tiger on a G4?

I'm having computer woes, and nothing makes me more woeful. I've reinstalled 10.3.9 Panther (archive & install) and now my Apple programs don't work (Mail, Safari, Stickies, even Disk Utility). I've booted from a CD and repaired permissions, no help.

Before I backup, erase and reinstall everything, I'm considering the upgrade to 10.4 Tiger. (Do I have those names right? Jesus!) Are any of you running Tiger on a G4? Can an old 867 dual processor G4 MDD handle the new system?

I am a Sad Panda.

I'm running it with no trouble on my 1.25Ghz G4 powerbook.

I've got Tiger on my old G4 TiBook. It's only 400 MHz, with 384 MB RAM and a 10 GB hard drive. Doesn't seem to have any problems.

Install XP. You know you want to.

I can't install XP unless I get an Intel Mac. I hear they cost money.

Kindralas said...

So does Tiger.

Mac users complaining about spending money...:P

Mac users without jobs can find that to be an issue. :P
