GarageBand v2&? latency if update to Tiger(and add Ram) to eMac 1.25ghz

Question

Hi,
I have used GB on and off and like it alot
and to preface my post
and if anyone with a emac with these specs (1.25Ghz 1GB ram and a 80GB HD
(the USB 2.0 model) I think there is one model after mine with a 1.42 or 1.45Ghz processor
1) If Someone just added Tiger how did Garage-band work after? Latency issues or
(I am using Version 2) of GB I do not need the pod casting features of V3 and V4 looks cool but V2 is fine
2)* and if someone added Tiger and upgraded to 2GB of Ram how did Garage-band work any issues with their eMac or other Mac *(I don't want to crash it)
I like Garage-band a lot and have posted on Macjams.com (but not for awhile) I have used Audacity
Abelton Lite (acquired through a gear purchase) and am up to version 6, Reason Adapted for Korg (V3), Tracktion V1 (*not bad) got it free when Mackie gave it away (free full version and license) but never pursued V2 or V3 and I think its on its way out now also, I keep coming back to Garage-band V2 as its user friendly, can use live instruments, virtual instruments with a midi controller and loops as well. my eMac is a 1.25ghz USB 2.0 (version) 1GB of ram and a 80GB hard drive. *I am running Panther 10.3.9 and as any one running Panther I am sure realize the browser issues and even getting access to free-ware or demo's , I read on OWC www.macsales.com that my eMac and the one later with a higher GHz processor can run with 2GB and they referenced a Mac Document as well. I think by adding Tiger (just adding it by itself)? I may run in to latency issues (from what I have heard and read) so I am considering doing two things (updating to Tiger 10.4.1) and adding
ram (two 1GB sticks) depending on where I buy the Tiger Update (used for eMac or the universal installer (may not be correct term) and buying reliable ram The cost could vary
new I saw Tiger for around $99.00 and used for emac $3.00 (risk taking yes) and ram
was $ 29.00 a stick so $58.00 + shipping on ram and anywhere from $3.00 (if lucky to $99.00 + shipping (so could be as low as $61.00 to as high or higher $157.00
? though its a 2004 eMac do I want to invest (on the high side $157.00 on a 6 year old eMac or save my dollars and wait and get a Imac (? 1199.00 + applecare) Education pricing) or a laptop (the white molded plastic Mac-book is ? $849.00 pr $899.00
but would like 4GB of ram and a large HD as I would like to get in to Logic Studio down the road or Logic Studio Express* (just don't buy the education version as You can not update to the full program)*not sure why that is but I read it in several user reviews in the Apple Ed section on Apple Express (You used to get a price cut (prior version of express and full version not sure about the current versions (I guess If You bought the full version at a discount You would ? should ? be o.k. (I would check that for sure though and Logic used to be $1,000 and Express $500.00 so it has come down a huge amount and has great features (imo)
* crazy enough I was surfing for free-ware and a Russian site I came upon some how?
was offering down loads of Jam-packs (even the #1 Jam Pack which is no longer sold) and its the only one I ever bought as its cross genre ,
*The Russian site even had Logic Studio 9 (full version, main stage, all jam packs ? in English or Russian but obviously illegal (I did not touch anything) or attempt any downloads (it had Mac and PC and high dollar programs of each if it really worked or even down loaded (I did not touch anything)
In the past I did buy Jam Pack Number One (no Genre or type noted) a nice varied program and also Sonic Boom Box but I give it a so so as you need a large 61 or full 88 key midi keyboard (or I am doing something wrong) *I use a M-Audio Radium 49 and about 2/3 of the keys work (or get sound unless You adjust the octave switch) I was interested in the virtual instruments the most too, I have no issues with the Jam Pack Vitual Instruments (guess read the manaul (again)
and if anyone with a emac with these specs
1) just added Tiger how did Gargeband work after
2) and if someone added Tiger and upgraded to 2GB of Ram how did Garageband work
and any issues with their eMac (I don't want to crash it)
Sorry for the long post (I need a Twitter account to limit text!)
Peace
