The difference in speed is like night and day. Only some Finder operations are unbearably slow in Jag, but otherwise it's definitely worthwhile! One note of caution: If your hard drive is larger than 8 gigabytes, you absolutely must partition it. The Operating Systems MUST reside within the first 8 physical gigabytes. Whether you have OS 9 and OS X on either one or two separate partitions is up to you. If you go with separate partitions, remember that BOTH must be within the first 8 gigs. If you don't do this, then you will have problems later when you update your OS, and the updater installs the new stuff outside that 8 gig limit. It won't be able to find the updated OS, and won't boot up. This applies to all the Rev. A-D 233-333 tray-loading iMacs. Gerry -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
