After moaning about performance at the beginning I can say it's not so bad at all even without video card and with 1 GB HD on 400MHz G3 7500/256 MB/10.2.4 (prices are a bit different in "this part of world"). But responsivnes has it's limits. Rainbow wheel comes time to time and I was not doing any longer serious work on it as I do o OS 9 so it's early for me for final thoughts yet. I suppose that VPC would not be usable on such machine. And any speed expirience after updating similar old hw from Jag to Panter? Let1kWBloom test or so.
