[iBook] iBook 500 slow

[Allan Hise]

If you paid for the software, you should have the media and serial numbers
(if any) as well.

That said, an OS X disk will install on any mac that supports that version
(meaning, a G5 won't run 10.1.x), however the 'restore' disks and
'hardware test' disks are usually machine specific. I bet the restore disk
would work, but the HW test for my ibook won't work on my cube, or vice
versa.
