Hmmm, besides the thread being on the wrong email list, I would like to say that running X on an unsupported machine is cheaper. I live in Canada and I have saved at least a couple of thousand dollars, even with the upgrades I have made to my system.
My system: 7300 w/450Mhz G4 and 336 Megs, ATI Radeon for Macintosh, ATA 66 PCI card, 2 hard drives (20 & 40 Gigs) & DVD attached to ATA card, USB 2/Firwire PCI card (for the easier, cheaper upgrades), USB Scanner, cordless USB mouse, and of course Mac OS X 10.1.4. I would of made the same upgrades if I were running X or not. As of now X is quite stable but as any *nix system is always a work in progress. If you need new hardware and the greater speed then go for it but if you are just doing standards at home then running X is a great way to go and will prepare you for when you do buy a new machine.
