Until last week, I was running Jag on a Beige RevB 266 with 768 MB RAM -- and I hated it. I upgraded so that I could use iPhoto at home, and because I now officially hate working in Mac OS 9, and it was usable -- but barely. I wouldn't really recommend it unless you have no other avenue. The G4/867 that I just traded up for is an infinitely-better machine -- and it runs Panther.
If you're running OS X and not running 10.3, you're really, really missing out. It's miles faster on any machine capable of running it. :-) Lincoln > You don't need USB, you need upgraded video to run Panther on a > beige.
