A newer G3 (such as an iMac) should work, and would be what I would consider to be the lowest-end machine you can expect to be functional. I wouldn't go for anything much slower than 350-400 Mhz, and make sure you've got at least 128MB of RAM (preferably more), and several gigabytes of disk space (MacOS X will take at least one GB all by itself). The first G3 machines (beige) won't officially be supported by Apple, but with some third-party help, might also be able to run MacOS X, and if they've had the processor upgraded (to a fast G4, or a pair of fast G4s), could even be pretty speedy MacOS X boxes. -- Brad Knowles, /* efdtt.c Author: Charles M.
