Well perhaps it will run with so less RAM, but the speed of OS X on that (first revision) iMac will nothing be compared to the speed of OS X on a new (i)Mac. Also there's a big difference in speed between OS X 10.1.x and OS X 10.2.x on a Mac. 10.2.x (aka Jaguar) is much faster than 10.1.x. > If I am happy > with it, I might plug in my 40GB internal IDE Western Digital > HDD which is supposed to be Mac compatible.
