Rex, I just put Panther on a Blue & White. I added a little more memory and boy it works perfectly. I was amazed, and I can open all the Office Suite, have Mail open, Safari and the performance is VERY good. I wanted to give this to a family that had a missionary brother going to Africa and they had no way to contact them, so I offered to help. I wasn't sure, but it works flawlessly and in the two weeks they have had it there have been no problems.
