I have a B&W G4/550 with a gig of RAM and one of the SIIG ATA controllers and an ATI Nexus 32 meg video card (between the Rage Pro 128 that came in the B&Ws, and the Radeon 7000)
Runs 10.3.9 just fine. Video performance is reasonable for a machine that is 8 years old. Some of the screen savers are sluggish for some reason, but who cares.
I built this machine as a back-up to my MDD duallie, so I had a reason to put a little money into it almost 4 years ago.
If you have the parts, or someone gives them to you, great. But I wouldn't spend much on it at this point.
