I don't know about speed doubler, but 8.1 will be a bit slower, but, imo, much more reliable and usable than 7.6.1, given that this is a PPC system. I have 8.6 running on one right now, and it's quite usable; I'd had 9.1 on it and it was horribly slow, but that could well have been because the HD was flaky...when I tried to re-format it, it wouldn't, and when I looked at it in Drive setup it had three partitions where there had only been one before.... Replaced the drive and it's much better. before it would take 45 seconds to a minute to start up programs. Much faster now. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
