Officially, 10.2.8 (AKA Jaguar) is the highest you can put in a Wallstreet. However, many Wallstreet owners have been able to put the most recent OS X release using XPostFacto, with varying degrees of success... If you could upgrade the processor for the 300MHz for cheap, then I think it would be worth it, but I'm not sure buying a brand new G4 upgrades is. You are still left with a sub-par video system that can't be upgraded and a relatively slow system bus. For a few hundred dollars than what you would pay for a G4 upgrade, you could probably find a faster iBook that will more easily support OS X.
