No, it runs well even on unsupported hardware, like the original G3/233
imac for example, as long as it has enough RAM (at LEAST 256M).

I have many customers with lesser hardware then you describe that are
thrilled with panther, and tiger runs at least as well if not better in
some areas. I am not saying these low end boxes are good for video
editing or 3d animation...

It's fine. I installed a G3/350 B/W last week, and was worried, but
it ran flawlessly, once the spotlight indexing was initially
completed... The DVD player was perfect also.
The trick widgets effects are not present due to old/low end video
hardware...
OSX has improved performance in every point release to date, especially
on older lower end machines, in my experience.
