I run 8.6 on my 5300 and it works great. How much ram do you have? I am pretty sure that I've heard of people running 9.1 on the machine, although I'm not entirely certain, and have never tried it personally. I've heard most recommendations for 8.5 / 8.6 on the 5300 though. Mine is extremely stable and reasonably responsive with 40 MB Ram, a 6GB Fuji Drive, Ram Doubler, and SpeedDoubler installed. I have the CS model, btw. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
