Does anyone have experience running GarageBand on sub-1Ghz G4 Macs?

I know RAM is greatly needed for GB.

Am I barking up the wrong tree by thinking that I can get my 733Mhz G4 to run GB?

Thanks for the responses in advance.

I ditched my 1GHz G4 iMac (512MB RAM) because I wasn't happy with how GB performed on it. I pushed GB to the max, though. 20+ tracks. If you stayed with just a few tracks and maxed your memory, it would probably be usable. The next question is can you get the installer to load it on that computer? You might have to use Pacifist on the installer package.
