Nope. Old P4, no Intel VT. Also, only 1GB of RAM. ;?D
O_o
You are more intrepid than I!
I have heard that it is possible, although not easy... No details, though.
The Micron (?) board that also enables greyscale display on the
internal 9" monitor would be lovely to have. There is/was an effort to
reverse-engineer and reimplement it, but I don't think it got
anywhere...

I thought the borders were all the same size?
I remember when Blue Box appeared in the OS X betas. Many people had
said that the new window decorations took too much space, but when you
could inter-mix them with OS9 windows, you could see that they were
actually exactly the same size.
I also think the 8.1 Finder looks better.
This change in look was my point to stay with 7.6.1 on my 7500 until there
would be something worth the change. I think, the window borders take too
much space on the screen. That was my main reason to avoid anything >= 8. As
David pointed out, I just like the crisp look. :-) That'll be
tricky, it runs Windows Server 2008. :?D
You can use Hyper-V to run a Linux-guest ;-) 10.4 feels
slower than 10.3 & I am toying with downgrading my B&W
G3-with-a-G4-in-it to Panther, just for nostalgia. I have no need for
Dashboard and I don't /really/ need Spotlight.
10.5 might be slower than 10.4 but the extra facilities are worth it.
I consider doing the same with my iBook G4, just to have classic back (and
again something portable) when I finish reassembling. (It had issues with
hangs. It turned out that running with an external FW-disk was completely
okay. The internal disk also was ok, but booting from CD-ROM also failed.
So, I suspict it was the IDE-controller. Since the book is not really usable
with external disks only, I risked losing it completely by extracting the
board and baking it for three minutes at 250 degrees Celsius. Just enough to
make the sure the solder will get liquid. With that, I grilled the
onboard-RAM. So I disabled it with a sharp knife, cutting the VCC-Pins from
the first chip. It worked, booting the internal disk is possible again!
Yeeha! Didn't take time to reassemble completely, yet.) If I can
persuade or bribe Tony into fixing my SE/30, I shall be
looking for an Ethernet board. And an external-monitor adaptor, lots
of RAM and AU/X. ;?)
That could be hard to find. The SE/30 has only one slot. It should be
daisy-chainable but next problem could be space. And, I can't see how to
mount ethernet- and monitor ports on the rear.
