Rob I'm definatelly going full force to OS X, I'm having to use OS 9 these days (since the [EMAIL PROTECTED] isn't enough for even light X use), and I want to kill myself sometimes. You can see the performance degrading in 9 as you open more and more apps or even loaded web pages. In OS X, even as it's slower, it's performance stays the same. One thing they don't explain in their site is how fast I can run the carrier on my 8600, the fastest g4 they have for the carrier is 450mhz, but Sonnet sells a card with an 800mhz g4 processor ! Will a G4 at 800mhz work in the carrier ? In a year or so I wouldn't mind replacing the 350mhz processor with an 800 mhz one (and cheaply) Amazin -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
