Re: 3400c Mac OS 7.6.1 - Slow Window Redraws
Would 9.2.2 be feasable on a 5300? Anyone using it? I'm thinking with a max RAM of 64MB that it would be difficult. Actually I'm running 9.2.2 on my 3400c 240mhz ram maxed out and it's quite a bit zippier than 8.6 or 9.1. The finder is much, much faster.

Re: 3400c Mac OS 7.6.1 - Slow Window Redraws
I never tried any of the cardbus cards with 7.6.1, and I'm pretty sure they wont work. If you're 3400c is like your main or only machine then maybe you should stick with OS 9. however if you really want to make it seem fast and you have other machines to use instead of the 3400c I very much so enjoy system 7.6.1. Its good for when i take the 3400c to starbucks or my college library or somewhere i feel another computer user may be interested in finding out what it is I'm using. System 7.6.1 keeps it fast and impressive feeling (speed wise). On Mar 15, 2004, at 5:15 PM, gsabreu wrote: I really liked your page.

Re: 3400c Mac OS 7.6.1 - Slow Window Redraws
I have a 5300c, and have run 7.6.1, 8.1, and 8.6 on it. 7.6.1 can feel quite slow, and I think that it's due to Apple's poor emulation of non-power PC code. I purchased Connectix SpeedDoubler and it completely changed the way 7.6.1 felt; it was MUCH faster in opening windows and copying and everything else they claim speeddoubler does. It's an older version so I wasn't able to use it on OS 8.x, but I can tell you that running Quicken 2000 (a power-pc native app) felt faster with 8.6 than with 8.1, maybe because 8.6 is completely power-pc native. A 5300c, if it has enough RAM, is definitely faster running OS 8.x than 7.x unless you have Speed Doubler. In my experience, the best combination for a 5300 is to run OS 8.1 with Speed Doubler 8 installed. The problem is that Apple's emulator needs an L2 cache to function properly, and of course, that's something a 5300 doesn't have. SpeedDoubler, among other things, is a rewrite of some parts of the emulator to make it function better, and is invaluable on a 5300. It will help a 3400 running OS 7.6 or even 8.1, but nowhere near to the extent it helps a 5300 (or a cacheless 1400c/117). The ideal setup for a 3400 would probably be to run 8.6 on it, but I've settled on an optimized 9.1 install because unlike Dan, my 3400c/240 is by far the best laptop I own, and I need to make Hooper jump through hoops. I can't figure out if Kanga supports 7.6 or not; different sources disagree on that subject. Oh well, one of these days I guess I'll just buy one and find out for myself. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 3400c Mac OS 7.6.1 - Slow Window Redraws
It is very fast. It feels great to have it running as fast as it was when it was the fastest notebook computer the world has ever seen I am actually surprised that 8.1 doesn't run faster than 7.6 on a 3400 with maxed-out RAM. I have tried them both on a 5300 and 8.1 always seemed more responsive to me, so I kept it there. I guess with the L2 cache, a 3400 can emulate old code faster than it can execute the code in 8.1.

Re: 3400c Mac OS 7.6.1 - Slow Window Redraws
Why would 7.6.1 redraw slower than 8? Especially since everything else runs much faster. I would suspect that 7.6.1 just doesn't do QuickDraw acceleration as well as 8.1 would. Running 7.6, I bet your 3400 feels as fast as a G4. I could never do it, though; I like the features in OS 9 too much. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
