I have a very similar model (w/12GB HD & 384 MB RAM) running 10.3.9 and it works well. Runs Safari, MS Office, Acrobat Pro, Photoshop just fine. As it is similar to a Beige G3/300 (which I have running as a 10.4.1 file & calendar server), it does a good job as a general use Mac. It is just as stable as any of my other Macs under a heavy load. Anyone who would use a $1000 video editing program on a 6.5 year old $2-300 laptop is using questionable judgement. That money would be better spent on a new iBook w/iMovie HD or iDVD.

And if it is silly to make do with what one can afford they son't need LEM . The LEM lists are all about making the old new again. And I assume these PDQ PBs will take an accellerator of more than 300 MHz. I know afrom experience that a 400 MHz Sawtooth runs FCP4 adequately. So why would it be out of the question to inquire about the true capacity of the OPs Mac?
