The System performance will not change on adding an FPU. Floating point
operations will improve markedly though, try using Techtool Pro on it or
something similar and test the FP performance.

I used 7.5.5 on my III+ for a time and it was dog slow. 7.6.1 is not
much different and will only be worse, but more stable. It's doable and
livable with but not if you need to do anything strenuous.
I'd recommend 7.1, it's stable, speedy and not too feature-bare. Gamba
has d/l links for the 7.1 install disks.

You need an ethernet card, a copy of Open Transport 1.1.1 and the 1.1.2
upgrade (from ftp.apple.com), a modem that is Mac compatible (any Hayes
standard serial 56k modem will do) and a copy of iCab 2.71beta. That
will, with luck and a little configuring, get you netting and ethernet.
More details no doubt are in the FAQ and Gamba has links to all the
software you need.
