'No' and 'It depends'...
How much memory do you have on it? I have 36 megs on my 540c, plus a
larger HDD, so I run virtual memory, too, and I'm quite happy with 8.1.
However, depending on how you're set up. OS8.1 takes between 6 and 10
megs of memory to itself. 7.5.5 can be set up to take less than 4.
But I really like the more stable 8.1...
System 8.5 and above were for PowerPC systems only, so unless you have
the PPC upgrade (and the memory) 8.6 is right out.
