Hi Wm Voelker, Just as Chris Lawson (the Pickle) says that with too high an OS for a smaller processor and limited RAM, the OS can become the "bottleneck" slowing things down, this is like the reverse where with all that processor capability and RAM perhaps you should simply upgrade to say, 9.2 via an Easy Install"? Here's an excerpt from the tail end of P's article: "Any of the 604-based Macs (the 7300, 7600, 8500, 9500, etc.) are good candidates for OS 9.1, but the lowest-end 604s, like the 8500/132 and the 7600/132, are probably on the low end of what will feel fast enough. If you have a G3 or G4 upgrade card in the box, go ahead and put 9.1 on there -- it's a great improvement over 9.0.4, and over 8.6 as well." "If you've got a G3, run 9.1 unless you are absolutely too strapped for cash to get it. If you're one of the original iMac owners or beige G3/233 owners and still running 8.1, I implore you: upgrade. You'll appreciate it. Get 8.6 at the minimum, but 9.1 will be best." _______________________ HTH, TT -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
