iMac power pc system recommendations

[Hussam]

Hi,

I am brand new mac user, never used it before, I just got an older iMac and want to learn about it.

I need help to know what's the newest system that can be installed on it.
its 500 MHZ power pc processor
30 GB Hard drive
512 Ram

I want the newest possible system so I can start on a newer system espicially since i am still a starter.

Another question I have, do i have to purchase a cd to install a system or is it possible to download it from the internet?

Any little piece of help is appreciated.

Thanks alot,
Hussam

Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" is the latest Mac OS X supported on that Mac.
