Tiger or Jaguar wont load....

In tiger, the beach ball will spin with any action. I suppose this is because I have 192MB RAM, please tell me this is right!

In Jaguar, it wont start up. the apple turns into a circle with a line through it. Is this
because I dont have 10.2.8?
Thanks!!!!

We need to know your machine's specs. You certainly DO NOT have enough RAM to run Panther- Tiger much less so. Jaguar is your best bet, or get more RAM. As to the Jaguar problem, I would say maybe some system files or permissions are corrupted. Boot from the install CD and run disk check...let us know what happens.
