All Macs are "compatible" with the Cube.

But nonetheless, you want to run Jag on your iBook, that's fine. I will 
assume that you mean the clamshell Graphite Special Edition (no 
firewire, 366MHz). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It's very reliable. It's also rather slow compared to OS 9, but for 
many people the benefits outweigh the slight tardiness.

To upgrade, you will want to max out the RAM for your Powerbook 
(replace or install the one user-installable RAM chip with at least a 
256MB if not a 512MB chip) and you may (repeat MAY) want to replace the 
hard drive with something larger (the 366 IIRC came with a 6 gig. 
That's enough to run OS X, but you'll run out of room fast).

For maximum efficiency (and backup purposes) you may also want to 
replace the CD drive with a CD-RW drive. MCE Electronics can do all 
these upgrades for you for a reasonable price.
