This is extremely important with me because i have to upgrade OS for a client and i absolutely don't want to get trouble so i have few questions to ask you before i touch my hand on his MAC.

This is hardware configuration of his laptop:
iBook 12 inches
PowerPC G3 700 MHz
RAM:640 MB
HDD: 100 GB
Firewire:1
USB:2

Can I install Tiger,iPhoto version 6 on this MAC ? according to Apple Documentation i can install Tiger but i need feedback from user who did these things?

It runs fine... My friend has an iBook G3 800mhz 640MB 80GB with Tiger on it.. Doesn't really have too much difference on normal day to day application speed compared to Mactel..

That'll work perfectly..nice setup your client has there.

Tiger will run fine, but be aware of the iBook G3 logic board failure. It's not a question of if, but a question of WHEN. To be fair, mine happened after four years of flawless work, so it died at a time when it was getting ready to be replaced.
