Be sure to do the iMac firmware update for the 400 MHz before attempting to install OSX. It's a simple, and free thing but with 10.2 and up, not upgrading the firmware can leave you trapped in the "Where the H#*LL did my computer go" mode.That Blueberry iMac of yours is a good example; it originally came with machine specific OS9 discs and those discs will not work in older iMacs or other types of Mac.
If your copy of OSX was bought seperately in a shop then I think you will be ok, unless it optimises itself somehow for the machine its installed on.
Good advice. If you do not have the machine specific OS discs, you want the retail version.
