From: Mark Benson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I think from Panther onwards the 'recommended' spec should be G3/800 or faster or G4/533 (or Dual 450) or faster.
Actually no -- I have it running on an iMac G3/700 (512MB RAM but no Quartz Extreme) and it's blazingly fast. I cannot even imagine it on a dual G5.

That said, there *is* a new caveat to Panther -- Apple says it won't run on machines that don't have BUILT-IN usb ports (it doesn't actually have to do with the USB ports, it's to do with the ROM -- the lack of built-in USB is just a handy guide to eliminate those machines that don't have the right ROM).
Now, this is just what the WWDC preview had for restrictions, so please don't stone me if the final retail product doesn't have the same caveat, but I thought as we're discussing unsupported machines and OS X, this was worth mentioning.
