Your old iMac will be fine. I have the same thing, but with 128MB, and it works great.

Really? Works great with 128MB? I would never have thought that was possible.
<strong>I wouldn't say it works great. My wife has the ruby iMac DV 400 with 196ram and it's pretty slow with X.</strong><hr></blockquote>
That's what I expected. When I ran OS X on my Rev C iMac with 160MB RAM it was slow, but I think the main reason was before 10.1 was released. I thought it could've gotten alot better even with not a lot of memory.
