Noah, I had OS 8.6 on a 1400 w/56MB RAM, went to OS 9.0.4, then 9.1
for a while, eventually back to OS 8.6 ...
Do get more real Ram !!!
I agree w/ Howard (see below), I think RamDoubler 8 out performs
Apples Virtual Memory using OS 8.6.
It accomplishes the task in a more efficient manner and is somewhat tweakable
If you do go to OS 9.x, you'll need RamDoubler 9 ...
You could join the LEM Swap List, then place a WTB for a G3 upgrade.
They do pop up occasionally.

Thanks for any insights,

This may have been discussed in past posts, but I use a CompactFlash
memory card w/ adapter in one of the PCMCIA slots.
I keep some apps on the card to free up HD space.
The CF card will appear and work as a removable hard drive on your Desktop.
NON removable if you direct Virtual Memory to the CF card ...
BAD stuff will happen if you eject the card while the PB is running !!!
Fry's had a 1 day sale recently, 512 MB CF $20 after rebate, $$ to MBs,
not great compared to a used 4 GB HD, but pretty versatile,
and no lost screws ...

I'm a big fan of both RamDoubler and SpeedDoubler--both work really well
on both my 520c and 5300. Try and get the last version (ramdoubler 8 and
speeddoubler 8) for best compatibility.
Later.................Howard
