They lack the code for any processor type other than the CPU for which they are "optimised" (British spelling of RPMs page). They may be a tad faster, but I tried many of the Optimized versions on "Furbism's" page (<http://firefoxmac.furbism.com/>), and some didn't function completely; whereas the normal, multi-CPU versions always worked, so I'm a little skeptical of these homemade "optimized" versions. If you're really short on HD space they may save a few MB, but running Monolingual can extract the non-CPU specific code also, so there are two ways to skin this cat. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
