Again in my experience I have to disrecommend OS 8.1. Even on my 50mhz upgraded Quadra with 136mb of RAM and a 10,000rpm hard drive MacOS 8.1 is sluggish to me. > >On the other hand, 64 megs of RAM and a 33mhz '040 would mostly negate the >advantages 7.1 has over 7.5.5, which is a somewhat smaller memory footprint >and a slight speed advantage.

If you have lots of RAM maybe thats the key to using system 7.5.5. 32mb aught to be enough to run the OS and some Apps with virtual memory turned off. Of course MY Quadra doesnt even know what Virtual Memory is :) ********** Lots of hellos from Dan Palka's Quadra 800: The power to be your best. ********** -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
