Haha...
I'll go against the grain on tis one :-) I have a 3400/200 with 80MB of RAM. I installed and ran 8.6 on it for quite a few months. Overall it was fairly quick and seemed quite stable, but I always had a problem with the IP stack and the load speed of web pages when surfing... (Literally, I could load a page slightly faster on a 56K dialup line thorugh my PC based laptop, and the 3400 was hooked to my Cable Modem via a router.) I lived with this for awhile, but since I had nothing of consequence on the hard drive and a full OS9 CD burning a hole on the desk, I reinitialized the drive and laid down a fresh OS9 install along with the few apps I use (Nisus Writer, IE, and a few Guitar programs) OS9 seems slightly slower on startup. But, honestly, not much. SO far it has been quite as stable as 8.6 and my apps seem to load just as quickly as they did in 8.6. Most importantly for me, my INternet Browsing speed is now what I would expect it to be from a cable modem connection. I have no regrets and doubt I'll go back to 8.6. Just FYI... with 80MB of RAM total, the System shows that it is using 16MB of RAM. Cheers, Sionnach __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
