I've successfully installed OS X on an a 350 (I think) Mhz IMac, and 
have a 300 MHz orange and white iBook with OS X ... works quite nicely 
on both.

A nice thing about Mac OS is you can just copy the system folder and 
anything else you want to back up to CD elsewhere and if something goes 
wrong, it's just a matter of reformatting the HD and copying the files 
back.

It looks like you can buy 9.x installer CDs of eBay for $50 ...
