This may help if you try to go to OS X, but at this point on your powermac you are already at the pinnacle of OS 9. In other words, there is no farther for you to go unless you make the jump to OS X.>
Yeah, I know 9.2.2 is as high as I can go with OS 9. As to partitioning...other than by totally reformatting my hard drive, is there a way? Just curious. <On your powerbook, however, it's a different story. Still, everything I've read says that 8.6 is superior to 8.5 in all respects. i know that when I upgraded from 8.5 to 8.6 on my 1400 it went off without a hitch, no problems at all. I dunno if it has the newer version of quicktime or not, but I assume not since there is not mention of quicktime changes in the 8.6 update. Might as well DL the quicktime update as well, as you are doing. Just the same, though, once you update, look in your control panels, open the quicktime control panel and you should see the quicktime version you are currently running in there.> Ummmm, I posted to the Powerbooks list about THIS one, rather than the G-list. Yes, I'm still considering the 8.5 to 8.6 upgrade there and I gotta say that the smashing success of my 9.2.2 upgrade on the G3 is something of a motivation. However, I felt it would be smarter to address the concerns I still have to the Powerbooks list since my Powerbook is hardly a G4 iBook hahaha. Yes I did download the Quicktime 4.1.2 update too -- as was the case with 8.6, it was free. Can't beat that price with a stick. ;-) But, no more of that issue in here. <As for my hardware, keep in mind that my iMacs and powermac date back to as far as early 1999, so it's not that so different as you might think.> Yeah, but your processors are still faster. 400 MHz is faster than 266, right? :-) ~Yersinia. ________ "I don't suffer from insanity.
