Question on disk formatting

Well, I'd try adding more RAM before losing OS X. I personally prefer OS X over OS 9, but that's on a Lombard 400 with 192 MB of RAM, so your mileage may vary. Also, you can get a processor upgrade from Other World Computing, that'll bump it up to, I believe, 450 or 500 MHz. BTW, which WS are y
