First off I am a Mac nub, I've dealt with PCs forever. Not to say that I'm "seeing the light" and changing to Macs, but after buying an Apple II I've become a little more open to fooling around on the fruit computers 
I am currently eying a Beige G3 on eBay that so far seems to be relatively decent in price, aka within the range that should not instigate my own mugging.
The listing says it's a 466Mhz G3, 128Mb RAM, running OS8 currently.
My main question is more around what things I would have to do to this machine to get it running OSX, if any, and what upgrades in general would be available to me.
I have heard however that the latest OSX will only run on G4s and above, so that also opens the question of longevity in this system.
Do you guys believe a G4 or above would be a better investment at this time? And if so, what model should I be looking out for. I hear people throw around Digital Audio and Quicksilver, and obviously, I have no clue what these mean [

Thanks in advance for your continued help
