Based on my experience with a 466mhz iBook, I think you could probably 
get away with OS X for everything except Photoshop. (The lack of disc 
space may prove to be a problem, though.) But I'd spend the money to 
upgrade to 10.2, at least (which introduced significant speed increases 
over 10.0) and increase the RAM if you can.
