I have a 350, 400, and 450 Mhz B&W and have added OS X 10.3.9 to all
of them.
I also have an iMac 350 with 10.3.9 and OS 9. When I switch back and
forth
between 9 & 10 I have to reset the PRam when going from 9 to 10. I
don't know
why, but it's consistent. As far as performance... the 450 is good
and so is the
400, I don't notice any appreciable difference between the iMac 350
and the
B&W 350 (except in the video rendering department. That is because (I
believe)
the B&W's have 16Mb of video ram whereas the iMac only has 8Mb.

P.S. The B&W is the model that requires a PRam reset when going from
OS 9 to 10.

Hey folks:
I'm wondering if anyone has hands-on experience with OSX
performance on a
B&W G3 (300mhz, 350mhz, etc.). I'm looking at doing an el cheapo
upgrade to
my wife's imac G3/300, which is pretty poky with OSX. (I need a PCI
slot to
add a wireless card to it)
Any feedback on performance on a B&W would be great.
And, on a side note, if anyone has a G3/G4 bare bones that they
want to
offload cheap, let me know. :-)
Thanks!
Lincoln
