    as long as you meet the minimum system requirements, you can upgrade to Tiger (10.4.x) or Leopard(10.5.x). Apple only sells leopard now, but tiger is still available off of ebay, and maybe even Amazon.

    You can't "upgrade" Mac Os 10.3 (Panther) to Mac Os 10.4 (Tiger). They are different OS's. You need to get a new install disk for Tiger (as in "buy it") and install it on your G5, then you can upgrade to 10.4.9 through software update.
