OSX on beige G3
I have a 266MHz beige G3, 448MB RAM. Will OS X run accpetably well on this machine? By acceptably well, I mean at least as well as OS 9 is now, speed wise? Additionaly, the app that I use most is Director, which is not available for X, will this run well in Classic? Or will I be booting back into 9? Any advice will be appreciated...

<strong>How much ram do you have?</strong><hr></blockquote>
448MB. No graphics card either, just whatever was built in, 6MB VRAM, according to the System Profiler. I'm pretty sure that is the max. So without buying a new card, QE will be of no help, right?
Edit: Come to think of it, of the apps I use the most, Photoshop, Fireworks, Director, Quark, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver, only Illustrator and Dreamweaver are OSX versions, and I don't really have the money right now to replace all of them, so I'll be spending most of my time in Classic. Is it even worth it?
