While I agree that you can never have too much RAM, and a G4 runs OSX better than a G3, and a G3 better than a 'regular" powerpc chip ... in my experience with OSX 10.1 on a 7600, i had neither an upgrade card, nor much more than 100 Mb of RAM. It ran OK. Not too badly. Not great. But not as bad as I thought it could be. Of course, I use OSX at home on a b/w G3 with 896 MB of RAM and at work on a G4 with 1 GB of RAM.
