Hi Daniel
I don�t think you'll ever run Mac OS X on this - even if you managed to
install it needs more ram to run than the 5400 can hold I believe.


As for video editing etc I think it would be a poor choice.
Its all down to budget but if getting an old world cheap Mac for video and
Mac OSX possibility I would look at 85/8600 9600 or 7600 though I believe
the latter 2 would need extra cards for video. Other here know better but
you can look at lowendmac's site to get an idea.
If you have a bit more dosh then G3's have a faster bus which is the main
thing you cant add later.
All the best
Brian
