I cringe to think what a 7500 runing X would look like! My 333Mhz iMac is sluggish, can you imagine a PPC 601 75Mhz!!!!! Scary...
However, Darwin might run nicely on it.

75MHz 601? Nope
OS X needs a 603 at least!
XPostFacto is really made for people who've put a processor upgrade in, cos like you say... it'd suck ass on the original stock processors.

Wouldn't that be sweet if I could get OS X to run on my Centris? I know it's impossible, though. Besides it looking like crap because my Centris only has 256 colors, it would take forever just to open a folder.

Hmm...wonder what it would do on my Performa 6360 with 136MD of RAM and the Sonnet Crescendo 400MHz G3 upgrade processor.

Why would you want to run osx on an old mac anyway?

The only two reasons I can think of are:
1) compatability
2) Just because you can.

The answer to why putting OS X on an old such as a 6360 or a 7500 is like climbing a mountain. You don

Why dream of using OS X on a really old Centris? I don't know, but it still seems like a terribly good idea anyway.

OSX, no, but why not put YDL with blackbox on it?

My 604 lacks the Classic OS required to boot XPostFacto and as such I am prevented from running OS X on it.
