Yeah, I know where you're at; I ran a 6500 at just 64 MB for several years, got 128 just this year: *much* better. > The machine is only used to telnet, read newsgroups (NewsWatcher) and > get on the web (NS 4.04 IIRC).

Trash it! > Apple QD3D HW Driver? > Apple QD3D HW Plug-In These are only needed it if you have an Apple-branded QuickDraw 3D card. Other video cards have their own drivers. > Default Driver Hmm; don't have that 1; I have a "Default Calibrator"...that may be where some program stores information about the driver it uses...*probably* doesn't use much (or most likely *any*) RAM. > DW Series 6.0 > DW Series 6.0 Apple Talk Unless you have an older HP Deskwriter inkjet you're using, they're outa here! > Web Sharing Ext Unless you're serving web pages...outa here! > > And can I disable (with no ill affects) About Apple Guide? I have generally found it rather useless, but YMMV. > Do I need DNS Plug-In?

If you don't use MLPlus, yes -- the 68k thing probably doesn't even apply to your 5400. > > Can I disable (again, with no ill affects) Print Monitor? If you don't need background printing, or if you don't use an Apple-brand or PostScript printer, yes. Other things I usually dump are all the "Input Sprockets" (but then I'm not a gamer), DVD, Firewire enablers (don't have the hardware)-- you can dump USB stuff if you don't have a card for that either, OpenGL (but then, as I've said, I'm not a gamer & I don't use 3D software modern enough to need it on my 6500), the ethernet drivers (unless you have ethernet going), WorldScript stuff, anything with "Microsoft" on it... 8-) > > UPDATE: > ----------------- > OK, so far Active X Controls is one I disabled (its for IE 3.01) > I also disabled Web Sharing Ext. with no ill affects > I disabled (IIRC) Print Monitor as well. > I also disabled DW Series 6.0, DW Series 6.0 Apple Talk > I've also disabled MacLink Plus for Easy Open > AppleGuide was also disabled as were Web Sharing (the CP) and a few other CPs > > I am trying to keep it from coming up, periodically, with a message > that the Finder is out of memory and that I need to quit (insert > chosen application here) > > Steve -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
