I have found that there is definetly a noticable speed increase across the board utilizing OS 9.2.2 as opposed to OS 9.1. os9forever.com has a hack that will allow you to install 9.2.2 on unsupported machines without a hitch. At the very least I would go to the6400zone.com and download the 9.2.2 open transport controll panel and extensions if you're set on using 9.1 That would give a little boost to your browser functions, ie; page loading, file downloading. Yes, technically, 9.2.2 is the "classic" companion os for X, but it performs wonderfully as a stand alone OS also. As far as netscape and mozilla go.... I hear/read the word "speed" used alot when people describe netscape & mozilla operation/functioning. Personally, I don't see it at all. The newest netscape was certainly an improvement over anything previously, but my experience using either of those programs left me wondering if there shouldn't be a law against using the word "speed" in the same sentence. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
