You win. I did the same with a 7500 with 112MB and it took 16.5 hours continuous HD churning. Once it finished, it was very slow, the letters I typed came on screen three or four late, but . . .


I did ALL the optimization things, such as switch video to thousands, kill the shadows, change the 'skin from Aqua to a very plain version, moved the swap file to another drive, kill all unnecessary processes, etc. It actually became useable, with real-time typing and even having several app.s open at once.

I'd still get more memory, a bigger HD, and 10.2 before messing with it myself. Kris Tilford
