Not sure what you mean by "capable of running tiger". If you have a machine
capable of running Leopard, it should be able to run tiger.

Not true. In general, any Mac requires the latest OS available at the time it was released. So machines released after the release of Leopard usually require Leopard.


Not in general. No Mac is supported to run any version of the Mac OS earlier than the version it officially shipped with.
If your Mac officially shipped with 10.5.4 it is unsupported to run 10.5.3 or earlier. Period.
If you do not know, and you may not, call AppleCare, provide the serial number of the Mac, they can tell you precisely which version it originally shipped with and that will be the earliest version you can reliably run on that computer.
Although in some cases you may successfully boot and run some earlier version, it is unsupported, meaning it would not be a good test environment.


Any Mac that runs Tiger well, will be more than adequate for most Tiger development. (exceptions would be targeting higher or lower end hardware)
