How about 8.6 vs. 9.2.2? I recently installed 9.2.2 on my 9600/g4/450 using OS9 Helper and so far have been impressed with the results. Startup is a bit slower than with 8.6 but overall it is somewhat faster, which was a surprise. It gets along well with the xlr8 ZIF carrier and Voodoo5. It also plays nicer with the Soundblaster Live than 8.6 did (using original drivers). No more creeping volume levels and I no longer have to disable one of its extensions. Browsing doesn't seem any faster using Netscape 7, however. I did have some trouble at first which was solved by disabling the ProxyApp and Classic Support UI system extensions. -+-+-+- RPM -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
