Yes, yes it is. That's why I wrote "The thing is, my G4 is a 1.42GHz, which is a bit heftier than yours." I had to include those qualifiers so the original poster understood that my machine is more equipped to handle the OS in question, and **even then** it still doesn't run it well — it runs OK; i.e. not necessarily "good" and not necessarily "well." It runs OK/acceptable...with a much better processor. Deduction would take a person to thinking that if it runs just OK on a processor with with thrice the hertz, it probably would not come close to OK on the lesser processor.
I'm sure it wasn't your intention because we're all in this together, but your paring of my original text change the intended meaning.
