I would get the developer edition for older machines. Keep max to later use for applications.

Yes, do try all safe mode options (press space when BeOS is booting up). In particular, if the boot process stops with only 2 or so icons left, try to disable the multiprocessor support first. If it worked for you, you can disable it permanently in kernel settings file.
