I'm using a 9600, 180mhz with 384Mb of ram. For video I have an ATI RAdeon 7000 and an ATI Mach 64 card as well... Dual headed is great! My OS X boot disk is only 2gb, but there are several other drives to keep stuff on until I clone the boot drive to a 4gb. >Whats it like ??? Well, with the new Radeon card the system is very usable. Yes, it does feel slow some days.. but I am comfortable using a shell so I don't have to use the slow GUI in the finder as much. As an example, I wanted to check the RAM so instead of using the finder to load the profiler app I did 'open -a Apple\ System\ Profiler.app' in the terminal. Yeah I know you don't need the .app but then sometimes it gets confused and tries to load the os 9 version. What drives me crazy? Well, I'd like to put an IDE card in here so i can drop a 20 or a 40gb disk so that I can avoid shuffling data around several drives. If you have a slow system add ram to it, it makes a huge difference. Also, I load my most commonly used apps at login, so I don't need to wait for them to load. I don't use Classic unless I have to, but even then it's ok, since I have a pared down OS 9 just for Classic. Anybody have a spare G3 card they don't need anymore? <grin> BTW, my wife is also using a 9600 with a similar configuration and she's very happy with it. She loves the fact that it no longer crashes.
