I am running Panther on a 333 G3 DT and take excpetion to Rob's comment re: video support. I have had virtually no problems using the onboard ATI Rage Pro video. Admittedly I have had to use SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com/) to allow me to use "alternate" video modes not made available natively by OS X (I have a pretty sorry monitor on this system). True, I can't use Quartz Extreme, but I'm not losing any sleep over that. Running 10.3.6 via XPostFacto 3.0b10 like a dream. -- Brandon in Durham, NC
