Howdy, I recently received a 400 MHz G4 to upgrade my B&W. I just want to install Tiger. I seem to remember something about the B&W not booting with a G4 installed, without a special driver. My G4 is an Apple brand one, if that makes a difference. This is a new B&W to me and I'll be installing the OS from scratch. I am trying to decide a good order to do things. I am still looking for a video card. I don't even want to try with the original ATI Rage card. I am watching for a cheap Radeon on ebay. Do these steps seem like the right order? Is there anything important missing? Install G4 Add 512 meg ram (giving 768 meg total) Replace video card Replace CD drive with superdrive Install Hard drive Install Tiger Install OS updates Thank you, Ralph
