So true. I tried both OSes on my IIsi and I'll stick to 7.1. 7.5.3 just slowed down the whole thing and was quirky with some programs and this was with my RAM maxed to 65MB. > I also tend to avoid RAM Doubler, yeh sure it's a neat idea, but it > also drains valuable CPU time copying back and forth from RAM to disk > and back, and if you have an original spec 40MB drive then your gonna > see still more reduction. > Also correct. Before my 64MB upgrade I only had 16MB and I tried RAM doubler (because I was cheap). It seemed to work like a charm until I noticed some educational programs tended to crash every now and then (they'd simply hang). Once I removed RAMDoubler, everything worked great again. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
