ceramic tiles

Hi, my name is Duy Cuong Banh and I have a few questions regarding ceramic tiles flooring.
Currently, my main floor of my house is carpeted and I would like to replace it with
ceramic tiles. I had a couple of contractors come in to give me a free estimate.
The contractors that came in seems to have different opinion on whether ceramic tiles can
be tiled right on the particle boards. Some says its not a problem because they will screwed down
the particle boards and apply a layer of cerment over a wire mesh. Others says you need to lay down
sheets of plywood or cerment boards over the particle boards to make it sturdy. Can you please tell me
who is right and is it possible if you can give me an outline of what needs to be done when tiling the
floor with ceramic tiles? Thank-you!
