No, I believe it's to do with what machine you have. I feel maybe the
x400s and x500s, being older, tend not to like it as much as the
chipsets on the boards are older and are the ones Apple probably pulled
the support for if the theory stands up. More RAM will help though, I
have found OS 9.1 a lot more stable since upgrading to 384MB RAM.
Oh and can we please stick to 'pre-G3' for PCI PowerMacs of 604e and
earlier type please. "Old World" encompasses the Beige G3 and older G3
Powerbooks which are supported by default by OS X. New World started
with the 233MHz iMac, the iBook and the B&W G3. Oh and just to clear up
another myth before someone says it, ALL PCI machines have Open
Firmware, not just the New World machines. IIRC you need an external
serial debugger to access it on pre-G3 machines though as it is not
capable of driving the display, can't remember for sure.
