Not unless you are running with every extension known to man on.. Currently
9.1 on my G3/300 here w/384mgs of ram only shows 24.6mgs for the system
heap.
One thing to really consider, since you brought up the issue of speed..
And being the owner of a 6400/180... Depending on what you want to do all
around with this machine, it might not be worth finding a G3 upgrade. Given
the 136mg ram ceiling ( 2x 64mgs, 8mgs onboard.) And that these upgrades are
pretty expensive.
Especially on the swap list.. I bought both of my G3's for well under
$100 from Rmartin.. I believe I paid $92 for a 300 tower w/128mgs of ram and
a 4gig hd. And $72-75? Don't recall exactly for me 300 desktop
w/128/zip/4gig hd..
So that might be something to think about, as far as cost : benefit
ratios go..
FWIW,
