Not meaning to rain on anyone's parade here but.......

You all do realize that OS X on a C600 is going to be basically un-useable, 
right?   I struggled along for a year on my S900 with a 200 mhz 604e and 
lots of RAM and it was still pathetically slow.   When the Sonnet G4/450 CPU 
cards came down in price ($265 shipped!) I jumped at it.   It made a huge 
difference - more than I thought it would, actually.

The 603e CPU and the limited RAM (144 megs max) of the C500/C600 will make 
for a painfully slow OS X experience.   The limited RAM alone is enough to 
be a show stopper for me.   OS X with 144 megs RAM even on a fast G4 would 
be an exercise in frustration.

If you're doing it just to claim you've done it, that's one thing.   If 
you're doing it to have a useable OS X system, I think you're going to be 
*very* disappointed.

Just my opinion, YMMV and all that.

Dan
