[P1] panther on 600MHZ ibook?

[Guy McMickle]

I tried out a beta version of Panther on a 500Mhz ibook and it felt 
snappier than Jaguar.  The expose feature definitely hiccups every now 
and then, but it's not too bad.  Expose is one of those features that 
you'll wonder how you ever managed w/o it.  I'm going to be buying it 
for my 500Mhz iBook...maybe I'm just easy to please...but I think you'd 
be happy with Panther too.
