I'd go for it. I personally did an erase and install just to be safe, but if you must upgrade, then i'd say do it from 10.3.9.

thanks. i'm looking to do an archive and install since i don't have the equipment to back up all my stuff, only the most important stuff went on my ipod and some went on CDs.

It really is not necessary and should not matter either way, MrForgetable. It will just cost you more upgrade time if you choose to upgrade to 10.3.9 and then 10.4.

That's like asking if you should add a quart of oil to your car before changing it 20 minutes later.

also, while i'm here (this is my first OS install so I'm pretty excited), I used the archive and install option. Do you guys think I can delete the "Previous Systems" folder? everything seems to be going well and I would kinda like some of the harddrive space back

Don't forget to install OS9, Tiger can't run without it.

As long as you don't have any files you want out of your Previous System folder, delete the heck out of it.
I'm Ugraded, but I'd like to do an Archive & Install after the semester is over, just to remove some general clutter and get the placebo effect speed boost.

Install 10.3.9 and wait until Tiger's bugs are ironed out before you install, especially if you use mail.app, Apple's DVD Player, and Safari.
