Apple has a tendency to disable support for earlier OSs at any hardware changeor just on a whim.
For example eMacs at 800 and 1000MHz may or may not boot into OS 9 depending on many things. For example if it shipped with a Superdrive, no boot in OS 9. If it came with a combo drive it would boot OS 9. Same machine, same motherboard, different OSs supported based on build config.
I imagine a new retail MB 3100 would not boot OS 10.4 - except for the special education versions.
