There have been some agreement in many circles I frequent that 384 MB is a magic number for Jaguar. After that, the speed increase flattened out. But 512 MB is great. I just went from 128 (!) under Jaguar to 256 and I think it's easily 4-5 times faster for the GUI operations, just because it can cache now what it used to get from swapping. When I get some time over I'm installing Panther with XpostFacto. however, I really should get 2 x 256 ASAP. Unfortunately I had to get a new display first. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
