Judging from the weighty "me too" factor on this correspondence, and unless someone can present evidence to a specific cause, I am going to officially conclude that this is normal behavior for at least a certain percentage of Beige G3's. When I got my stock Rev.1 a few months ago it did the same thing. It now has acquired a new Seagate 60GB HD with 10.1.4 on one partition and 9.2.2 on another, the RAM has been maxed out, and it has a G3 running at 500MHz. It still sits in stone dead silence, with a black monitor for 42 seconds before it boots. But, once it does, it runs like a screaming banchee out of Hades. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
