Yes, you will, but you would get more of a benefit from not using IE 5.1 and switching to a browser that doesn't have such a huge overhead on system resources. A few people have mentioned this already, but the only browser I use on a classic MacOS machine is iCab. > Will SpeedDoubler 8 really help me with my primary requirement (if I stay > with OS8.6 or switch to OS8.1). It helps a lot in 8.1, but not in 8.6, which is really a completely different OS, Apple's version numbers notwithstanding. OS 8.1 still relies a lot of 680x0 emulation; 8.6 is PPC-only and includes a lot more PPC-native code. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
