I hope he's not an Apple dealer!! If he is is he certainly knows 
nothing about Apples. You can run Jaguar (including OS 9.2.2) on 
a G3 233 if you want (although you may not enjoy the 
experience!). A G4 should be able to handle it relatively easily 
however graphics will be a week area. You have enough memory and 
Jaguar takes advantage of the G4 processor.

Go ahead and try it. You can always revert to 9.x if you don't 
like it.
