I know that with each release of OS X, Apple has made the operating
system faster and more efficient. But at the same time they have been
making it more resource-intensive by adding new features everytime.
Which OS (presumably somewhere between 10.2 and 10.3) offers a better
speed?

So it's possible to run Mac OS X on a PowerBook 3400 and a

going to run on a 603e chip? Has anybody tried this? Does anybody
have any experience with this matter?
I haven't run OS X on a PowerBook with a 603e, but I have run it on
a 9600/300 (604e) with 768 MB RAM and on a PowerBook G3 233/512k
cache with 320 MB RAM, and they seemed about the same speed.
Neither was particularly responsive, but they were at least useable
if I had no alternative. On a 3400c/240, it might be bearable. On
a 3400c/180, it might run, but I don't know how much fun it would be.
The last I knew, the video controller wasn't fully supported, so
you could only get 256 colors or so in OS X.
Peace,
Drew
