I have a 7300 board in a 7500 case with a Powerlogix 350 mhz upgrade over clocked to 470mhz, using os 9.2.2. running nice and cool at 39 degrees Celsius. I can upgrade the RAM to 1 gig if I chose to do so. So far its been a great machine. I think total I've spent $300 and I plan to have it for at least another 6 months if not a year.
