I ran OS 10.1 on a 500MHz iBook for a while and it wasn't a
problem, especially if you cram in enough memory.  The only
thing I suggest is *don't* use a TiBook because suddenly
you'll think the iBook is dragging.  I'm not the typical
Mac user, but I did use it to look at DVDs and it kept up
quite well.
