Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" was the longest-lived version of OS X to date. It was released on April 29, 2005 and replaced by 10.5 "Leopard" on October 26, 2007. Tiger officially requires a G3 or later Mac with FireWire 256 MB of RAM, and 3 GB of available hard drive space. Tiger generally shipped on DVD, although users could order a CD-ROM version or do a media exchange with Apple for $20.
At present, we can't find anyone selling the 5-user family pack, which is the most economical way to buy any version of OS X for 2-5 Macs. If you know of additional sources for Tiger, please email Dan Knight .
Tiger runs on all slot-loading iMacs (even the FireWire-free 350 MHz model), G4 PowerBooks, G4 Power Macs, G3 iBooks, and the "Pismo" PowerBook G3. We recommend at least 512 MB of RAM for good performance, and Tiger can be slower than Panther (10.3) on some older G3 systems.
A version of OS X 10.4.4 was released with the first Intel-based Macs in January 2006. Through the remainder of Tiger's life, there were separate PowerPC and Intel versions of OS X 10.4. It was only with Leopard (10.5) that Apple delivered a universal installer and operating system for both hardware platforms.
Tiger supports Classic Mode only on PowerPC Macs - not on Intel-based Mac. This lets you run Mac OS 9.2.2 within OS X so you can access legacy software written for the Classic Mac OS. For prices on Mac OS 9.2.2, see our Best Classic Mac OS Prices.
