Yes you can run Mac OS X on a iBook G3. You would not be able to run Leopard but you can run previous versions of OSX. 10.4 requires 256megs of RAM and 10.3 and earlier require 128megs of RAM or more. Though it will run with this amount of RAM, I would recomend getting as much ram as possible in your iBook because it will help alot on basic OS X functions. I did the same thing with a lower ended iMac G3 and when I upgraded the ram to 512megs instead of 256megs it ran quite a bit faster.
