Beachycove,
I have a Pismo (see signature) running OS X 10.4.11 perfectly fine. It performs quite well with Tiger, although I'm planning on dropping it down to Panther (10.3.x) due to the smaller RAM consumption (footprint) and slightly faster speed. If I really tune the Pismo, it will boot Tiger fully in about 30 seconds. But if I run Panther instead, it won't require me to do so much fine tuning (cleaning out the caches, optimizing the hard drive, erasing the temporary files, etc.).
The only downside is that mine has 6 megabytes (max) of video RAM (vram) and I'd be looking into adding a PC Card external video accelerator card, if they still exist. The last one I saw had about 32 megabytes of vram, but only worked under OS X, not OS 9 or under. Why do you ask? Well, I do watch Youtube videos a lot and the extra vram comes in handy with todays HD content and fast frame rates. For me to watch the latest videos at a reasonable speed, I have to save the Youtube videos from a 3rd party site as .flv files and then open them up using VLC. The program plays back every Youtube video at the speed it's built for.
I hope this helps.
