I have to strongly disagree with this point. At home, I'm running a iMac G3 400 DV with Jaguar and it runs extremely well. I've currently got 512 megs of RAM in it, which helps, but strongly suspect that it would run okay with less. If the decision is to go with OS 9.2.2, it should be based upon the fact that the software that will be used is OS 9 based and the fact that most of the users will be inexperienced, not whether the machine is a G3 or G4. Obviously, Altivec based software will perform better on a G4 than a G3 at the same clockspeed, but for most programs the difference will be negligible. This will be the case whether you're using OS 9 or OS X. My two cents worth, anyway.
