>>How much RAM is on that 5300? I found 8.1 to be sluggish with 24 megs, but when I bumped the machine up to 40 and replaced the slow stock HD with a faster one, OS 8.1 suddenly became more responsive than any version of System 7 I'd tried. Not to mention it is far more stable.<<
64 MB. The one using OS 7.6.1 has 40 MB, and is far more stable. The one with 64MB will occasionally freeze at shutdown if it's been running for several hours. I still have OS 8.1 on this HD, and can switch OS's using a floppy start-up disk. 8.1 is faster and more stable and uses a lot less memory. I'm going to try 7.6.1 on it one of these days. Just curious, but gotta find the time. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
