Hello,

I think 10.4 comes on DVD. I am not sure. I have not thought of upgrading just yet.

What are the specifications of your current computer?

Christian is correct, Tiger comes on a DVD by default. If you want to get it on CD (you can), you have to contact Apple and pay $15 or $20 more to get it on CD.
