Here's the plan:

I wanna buy a cheapo laptop for school (basically just for writing, it would be), and I was wondering if Mac OS X would run smoothly with an iBook of these specs:

700MHz PowerPC G3
512K L2 cache @700MHz
128MB SDRAM memory
20GB Ultra ATA drive
ATI Radeon 7500
16MB dedicated video memory
CD-ROM
Built-in 56K v.92 modem
AirPort ready
Up to 5 hr. battery life

It comes with OS X and such, and it fits the minimum specs of course, but just barely. I don't need it to do anything spectacular, pretty much just school-related writings and stuff, but would the little iBook be overly bogged down running with OS X?
