Most of my time is spent in front of a 6100 G3/300Mhz, a 7100/66 or the 7300/200 (which has OS 10.1.5 installed on one drive) so my perception of speed maybe somewhat distorted. It took me a couple of attempts to get OS X installed on the 7300/200 and it was a very slow install. With that said, the performance of the 7300 with OS X is fine for the purpose of getting familiar and experimenting with this new OS. And I have no problems with web browsing or Email. The 7300/OS X keeps up with my sloooow dial up connection. On a couple of occasions I have experimented with light graphics work in classic mode using PhotoShop, PageMaker, Illustrator and Acrobat. The performance is adequate for light work. Most of our commercial work is done in OS 9.1 by a graphic artist on a 7500 with an XLR8 G3/466Mhz upgrade and a pair of18GB UltraSCSI LVD drives attached to an ATTO card -- definitely much faster. --glen (digest mode) -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
