i was wondering if anyone had tried 10.2 on older "unsupported" hardware. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of X on my 8600. I mean, obviously, QuickTime and 3D were a no-go (as they would be on an original iMac, beige G3, etc.), but the OS itself wasn't too bad, even with the stock 300MHz 604 and 128MB of RAM ...

It would be great if Apple would release a version of OS X tweaked to run on older hardware a little faster. I doubt it would take that much effort, and it would enable people to take legacy networks of Macs up to an entire OS X affair. Yummy.
