Personally, I am running OS X 10.1.2 on a Powerboog G4 with 512 Megs of RAM
and it flies. I agree that the first release version of OS X was really
beta quality, but that was what I expected, and so I was not disappointed.
And with 10.1 they really hit the mark. I love OS X and have no performance
complaints at all. Even synching with Entourage works beautifully. :-)
