I currently have an imac os 8.5 what is the best way to upgrade os(and version to upgrade too. Uses: Minimal gaming general internet and school use

If you're running 8.5, you probably have an old iMac, one of the first all in one machines. OS 8.6 is considered to be a good version of the OS, very stable. The last OS in the pre-X era was 9.2.2. Either should run on your G3 machine and it's hardware and would be available from a variety of sources at nominal cost.
But, with the latest Intel chip machines now available, support for pre X is going away.
The world has moved way beyond that and if you jumped into something with a G4 processor, you'd only be 2 steps behind, but, could run something in the X family. That would suffice for your needs, with adequate memory available.
Bob.

Haven't got personal experience of this company, though a friend has recently bought Tiger from them:

Just as a head's up....I've got a 333Mhz iMac which came with 8.5. I'm now running 10.2.8 with no problems or speed issues. I upgraded my RAM to 192MB.

$82 for tiger? i dont see how they can sell it that cheap

[chiefsub68]

Nor do I... but my pal's version of Tiger works fine. Each disc came in a strong plastic case, and he's very happy with it all, especially with the UK price, too, being no more than the equivalent US$ price - we normally pay a substantial premium here in Blighty.
