FWIW I have just gone over to 'X' full time, although I've had it on a
separate drive since 10.1.   Panther is noticeably faster on a G4/400
(448Mb Ram) than Jaguar, and is the first incarnation that I have felt
really comfortable with.  My nephew runs an iMac G3/500 with Panther and
although he only has 256Mb Ram it seems to work OK.  Certainly it is very
usable although more Ram would be better.

cheers,
