I think your G3 will be marginal with 128MB RAM. You are running less than the test G3 machine that was used during the evaluations of Panther in 2003 and it was considered barely acceptable. You might want to go through this review (all 14 sections) and then draw your own conclusions.

It depends on what other applications you want to use simultaneously. Processor speed is important but for opening and running applications, nothing is more important than RAM. Maybe 80MB of RAM is needed to run Panther, depending on a few variables. The remainder of the RAM is used up as you open and use other applications. If you want to use Photoshop to edit 20 MB images as I do, no way. You will not be happy waiting one or two minutes for the scratch disk switch. For such use, you would need at least 512MB. I have 1024MB and it is just enough.
