I'll be trying to get it running on my dual 400MHz G4

It's surprisingly quick with Tiger, so you never know

He meant run. Not just install.

It would run..... fairly slowly.

not sure about what vista can run on but heres a site about someone who managed to install XP on a socket 4 pentium overdrive with 24mb ram : http://www.winhistory.de/more/386/xpmini_eng.htm

edit: vista can run on a pentium 2 300mhz:
