Liam- I've had great stability with my Umax J700 and Jaguar. I can just leave it running- no worries. I think your problems suggest bad ram or the like- sounds like something's not right with your hardware. The fact that OS9 didn't boot indicates that. The 7300 is a perfect machine to upgrade. My wife is using a 7600/ 120 with 10.1.5 on it and only 112 ram! Not a suggested configuration, but it works and is stable as a rock. It's her choice to run OS X. I'm trying to get her to buy a G3 and go to 10.2...
