Can't do. Lion requires 10.6.6 at a minimum. 10.4.11 ain't gonna cut it since you're probably still on a PPC.

You will most likely not be able to upgrade directly from 10.4 but you should be able to do an archive and install like normal.

As long as you have 2GB ram you should be good with your hardware.

It's an option when you boot from the install DVD. Archive and Install moves your current System folder to the side and installs a new one.

You'll need to wait until Lion ships to really know the answer to that, although there are some threads here that are reporting the status of apps.

You shouldn't assume that he is on a PPC. The 1st intels were shipped with Tiger.

10.4.x shipped on quite a few Core2Duo machines. Why would you believe the OP to probably be on PPC?

Why else would they be running Tiger? It's a perfectly reasonable assumption to make.

Not that there's anything wrong with Tiger...

No it isn't. By that logic they could be running Leopard. Why would they be running Tiger if they could be running Leopard? Why would they run Leopard if they could run snow leopard?
