You have received several good relies to your query... Let me add, don't upgrade to 9.1 unless you have 256 Mb ram and better yet at lest a 400MB G3 card. 9.1 is wonderful but will slow the original configuration to what seems 33% slower. I've been there. Use 7.6 or 8.5 ... or "Load it to the MAX with RAM". RHB ************************** Steve Luke wrote: > > Hi, > I've just purchased a PowerTowerPro 250 running OS 7.6.1.
