Requirements
Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G3, G4 or G5 processor
Built-in FireWire
DVD drive for installation
256MB of RAM
3GB of available hard disk space (4GB if you install the developer tools)

i see you can. but i would recommend at least another 256mb or another 512mb.

if i were you, i would get more ram because 256 mb is a little light for running os x. your computer is perfectly fine for running mac os x except the ram is too small. try to add at least 512mb of ram. it will increase speed dramatically.
