I'm not sure about that.  Windows XP will install and run with some  
loss of features on an AMD K62-233 with 64 MB RAM, and requires 1.5  
GB hard disk space.  OS X Tiger will run on a G3/267 but requires  
minimum 256 MB RAM, and requires 3.0 GB of hard disk space.

Minimum System Requirements for both operating environments:

The memory footprint and cpu load to run Apple's Aqua interface is  
considerably higher than Windows XP Luna.
