turn on VM :) 21 meg for system with VM on 34 megs for system with VM off 9.1 on 1400cs/G3/400, 60 real RAM I have tons of extensions installed (90 megs anyway); Office98, Photoshop, many tools for multimedia authoring (even though they don't look super on the 1400cs it's been handy to have Premiere, Sounedit16, etc on their for converting formats), many shareware tools, internet apps, fax software, tons-o-crap about sums it up. The big HD is a very nice upgrade. I don't think it's too hard to get the 9.1 system to close to 20 megs. I think I even have Appleguide and Speaktext/ Speech Recognition and other system RAM hogs enabled; sometimes I have turned those off though on other setups as they take up huge amounts of system RAM and they usually don't do much for you. I might have one or two turned off on my laptop but I know some are active. If I turned all of them off I think I usually run aroun 18 megs or so. I would have expected a battery life difference but it seems about the same- on my original battery, 1hr to 1hr 15 min or so whether VM is on or off. I do have a nice IBM drive in there though which is likely much more efficient than the stock drive was. Brian -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
