   Will these systems run BeOS?

   From: dafreak@venomstats.com   
      
   I have a pair of systems that I'm looking to run BeOS on for a learning   
   experience. I think that it can run on both of these systems but I'm not   
   sure. I'd also like to know if I have to buy BeOS for the PowerPC I have   
   or  if there's a way to load BeOS PE on it. Here are the system   
   specifications (I'm aware a few components may not work, however I want   
   at least the basics)   
      
   System 1:   
      
   Dell Dimension 8300   
   Intel motherboard i875 chipset   
   Pentium 4 3.0GHz HT CPU   
   1GB of PC-3200 RAM   
   120GB SATA HD (NTFS formatted)   
   80GB PATA HD (NTFS formatted but can be changed)   
   ATi Radeon 9800 Pro   
   Sound Blaster Audigy 2   
   Pinnacle PCTV Studio   
   Intel Pro 100/VE   
   Logitech MX500 mouse   
   NEC 16X DVD+RW   
   Samsung 16X DVD-ROM   
      
   System 2:   
      
   PowerComputing PowerTowerPro 225   
   PowerPC 604e 225Mhz CPU   
   80MB of RAM   
   4GB SCSI HD   
   8MB SuperVGA video card (unknown manufacturer, whatever came with the   
   system it is a PCI card)   
   USB Host PCI card   
   Toshiba 8X CD-ROM   
   Built in sound & networking   
      
   All help and suggestions are appreciated.   
      
   Thanks,
