Thank you, Karl. Excellent advice. Also there are
those who keep a System file from a previous system
and add extensions/CPs from a higher system. It's
another way of reducing Ram required, and also getting
faster performance.
Cheers

Well, I'm running 9.2.2 on my Wallstreet. My system folder is about
300MB with just about every option installed. I have a total of 170
items in my Extensions folder... 626MB seems a bit extreme to me.

Yes, but it all boils down to what you do with your

The sys extensions in 9.x are rather daunting. The worst, though, was
moving from 8.1 to 8.5, since there was a lot of junk left in the
extensions folder that was no longer used. There are a few websites
that give more info. about extensions if you are unsure about what they
do. (Note: if you
help? how do I unsubscribe from the list?

I run OS 9.1 on a 3400/240 with 144MB RAM. It's not noticably slower
than OS 8.6 if at all but definitely takes a wad more RAM.
A little care with what control panels and extensions you load will
pay off if you need to be spare with RAM, otherwise, by all means
migrate to OS 9.1.

OS 9 uses RAM differently than 8: it takes a certain percentage of
available resident RAM regardless of how much you have.

unlike 8, it is impossible to strip it down very much to save RAM for

Thanks everyone for the advice, I think I'll stick to 8.6, I don't think I
could cope with 9.1 if it's going to be slower.

I don't think it's slower. I've got it on my 3400/200 with 144mb RAM. It
takes more RAM, if I recall, but it runs fine.

With a 3400c and 80 MB Ram, I had to switch from 8.1
and Nav. 4.6 to 8.6 and Mozilla (stable version) to
take advantage of a high-speed connection. This stable
version of Mozilla is anything but - any ideas? It
crashes 4 or 5 times a week. 8.1 was stable as a rock
but slow, so HW is not an issue.
I run 9.1 on my 3400 mainly due to the fact that I don't have a full
install of 8.5 or 8.6 available.
9.1 takes a while to boot, but seems ok once it comes up. I run 8.6 on
a 5300 CS with excellent results.

Hi Charlie,
Unless you'll be using all of 9.1's USB, FireWire, and video enhancing
features
what do you mean by video enhancing features ? Does it makes a 3400 running
faster ?
I do video capture on another Mac and found that 9.1 allows whatever
remaining free space there is on the drive to be
