There are two side to this coin. The good side is it is possible and OS
X rocks as an OS, especially 10.1.3. The counter-side is that OS X is
different and you may not like it immediately, perseverance will solve
that, and that it require an ATi Rage 128 PCI or a Radeon 7000 PCI video
card and USB to be of any real use. There may be problems in the future
with 10.2 etc.. as far as support goes too. It's a major investment to
up a PCI PowerMac to 10.1 and is something you seriously need to weigh
against the cost of your machine + upgrade cost vs. a G4 tower or an
iMac G4. I weighed it up and decided that, more for piece of mind than
anything else, a G4 iMac would be a better bet.
