Pretty straightforward. Leopard will work exceedingly well, although 4GB of RAM won't hurt. Purchase a copy off either the LEM Swap list or something like eBay; a fair price is in the region of $100US including shipping. Tiger (10.4) will work and will be less expensive. Any DVD or CD copy of either will be fine. Simply boot with the disk in the drive and the install is very painless. -- -- Illirik Smirnov
