I entered the world of Apple hardware about 3 months ago now, with a second-hand iBook2. It was a 500mHz, 256mb, ATI Rage 128 model, with a standard CD-Rom drive. I spent the first few days trying to tweak Mac OS X to my liking, then a few further weeks installing and learning to use the applications I thought I'd need. Chimera, BBEdit, the developer tools, even the Fink X server so I could use Gaim.

dude... make sure you are running the CK patched 2.4.20 kernel . then just set up the MM apps needed like K3B and xine (it is very stable and usable now)
also make sure you get the O(1) interactive proc scheduler and the rmap patches as well.
then renice X to 0 and you can run arts at the minimum framebuffer with no dropouts!!! DVD playback is perfect as well. I have no qualms with my system...I like it better than XPs MM.
