    Well, OSX doesn't really slow down unless you have less than 400Mhz. I'll assume you have at least that. Video: DVD's and MP4's are usually good; flash and h.264 you will see dropped frames. Internet runs fine as long as you don't have a lot of media. Games... Got any in mind? Don't count on anything 3D, especially if released in the past 5 years.



    Office, and those kind of smaller programs work just fine. I think you will probably need a program called XPostFacto to install Panther.

    Panther will install just fine... though the iMac MAY need a firmware update, depending on it's age (avail online at Apple)
