To expand on GGrenier3's comments, OS X takes around 1GB of space and requires a minimum of 128MB RAM, if you have the $$ upgrade the RAM to at least 512MB, you will be happier with the performance of OS X, if you have a 6GB hard drive I see no issues, if it is less and you are doing graphic or video work I would be a bit cautious. OS X is great, BTW
