I am looking to upgrade my iMac's Operating system (800 MHz PowerPC G4 with 1024 of Memory) from OS X 10.2.8 to the latest version... Tiger 10.4 ?
I want to do via eBay to save $$$ but I want to make sure I buy the right thing.
Can anyone help?
 
I would probably avoid eBay if I were you. Some people pass off the OEM discs as installation discs for all Macs, and that's not the case. The OEM discs (the ones that come in a solid color) are for the specific Mac that they came with. The retail discs have a roman numeral 10 ("X") across the disc. You could try and purchase from the following sites:

As for RAM, you might want to check Low End Mac for the model iMac you have and the RAM that it needs. You could also check at RAMSeeker.
