I understand why people still try to run OS X on these old machines, but don't kid yourself into thinking it will be either fast or fun... It will be cool and functional, but that's it!
My 2¢...

Can I Install PC133 Ram into it (2x 256MB Chips)?
How about a 30 Gig Hard Drive?
GraphicUmp said:You can - both. The RAM will only work at PC66 speed. Oh - and you can only install it if it's low-profile. Standard height RAM DIMMs will NOT allow the portion of the case that holds the power supply and optical/floppy drives to close properly. Plus, it'll push hard on the RAM, probably messing up the socket.
I had a 40 GB hard drive installed in place of the stock 6 GB in mine - worked fine, with no data loss issues.

Open the Apple System Profiler and find the information for the built-in graphics card. If under Card Model it says GT-A or GT-B, you will need to follow this guide to upgrade the internal hard drive. Otherwise you should be fine.
