On a G3-600 with 128Mb, OS X sucked.  With 512Mb, it became acceptable.
I suspect that the slower processor will be noticeable, but that the
biggest problem will be RAM.  IIRC those things maxed out at 384Mb.  That,
combined with the slower processor, may make it chug horribly.

If you save all your money for three years, you'll be able to afford this
new computer.  If, however, you blow all your money on poker, booze and
loose women - you'll still be able to afford it in three years.
