Well, disbelieving, I installed 9.1 on my 5300ce last night. You guys were right and I was wrong (definitely wouldn't be the first time!) ;-)
My 9.1 install was pretty typical. It took 30 - 36MB (out of 48) when I ran it without VM on, depending on which apps were running and which system libraries they accessed... 9.1 with VM took between 16-24MB. But good lord was it slow. Especially with VM. Booting took several minutes and some tasks took ages (opening folders with lots of icons and scrolling through long documents/windows was not fun). I didn't try browsing, because I didn't bother installing the drivers for my wireless card or ethernet card... Turning off VM helped, but not too much. Booting still took a long time. The Finder was responsive enough, but again, certain tasks took a while... I'll stick w/ 8.6 thanks! Not that it's much faster, but it's fast enough. Interesting. I wonder what the heck it does with the extra RAM on my Wallstreet and desktops...
