I need to know if the following configuration will allow me to write iPhone Apps.

Mac OS X Panther 10.3.9
Power PC G4
256 MB RAM
400 MHZ
120 GB HD

It's an older system someone has sitting around for cheap.

I would want to download the SDK (could I add an internet card?)

iPhone App Development would be the sole purpose of using this machine.

I believe you're going to need an Intel machine at the least. You can find more info by going to the Apple Developers Site.

Short answer: no, it is not sufficient.

As per the Apple developer site, "To develop with iOS SDK and participate in the iPhone Developer Program you must have an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X Snow Leopard."
