This isn't true. I run Tiger on old hardware (circa 1995) and it
works fine. Try running XP on a PC from 1995.

Actually OSX has gained performance in every version so far, so
unless you are looking for pro level apps (final cut pro) that
require the G4, Tiger and most/many programs run fine on G3
hardware. Not super speedy, but reliable and workable.
