How much ram and how fast is the processor?
On my G3 to get OsX 10.1 installed I had to use Xpost Facto
How ever 10.2 and up you can still run cool stuff. 10.1 and lower
is boring and limited and slow. 10.2 is faster and seems to be
able to run most applications that are out.
Which I still am trying ebay to get a good price on 10.2.
