Thank you Wade, not so much upgrading FROM the Beige, but rather adding another Mac to my collection. OS 9.2 runs okay on it, but OS-X was rather slow I thought. I did like the features of X, but not so much at that speed. I also pretty much assumed a 450 Mhz would be a Rev 2, not true? -- Just a message from Doug... -------------------------------------------- http://users.adelphia.net/~slugg0/index.html -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
