Drew -- how much RAM do you have on these 5300s? I've only got 32MB on mine
(two attempts to max it out have ended in complete failure, though by some
miracle without costing any money), and have heard that 8.6 requires 48
minimum. It's got 8.5 on there now, but the idea of upgrading has some
appeal, primarily because 8.6 runs my rock stable 7600, and its predictable
(not to say phlegmatic) habits are in marked contrast to those of the 5300,
which keeps dreaming up new flakinesses to entertain me with. This is even
after (especially after) a recent clean system reinstall. Is there a
reasonable chance that 8.6 would help it settle down, and if so could it get
by with so little memory?
Best,
Victoria
