Hi All Ok finally got this little beauty sorted. (chickened out on the hdd upgrade) so specs are 2400 240 cpu PPc 603ev 80mb ram cardbus done. running system 9.1 fully updated. with a dell truemobile card for wifi using the orinoco drivers. I run a complete system from a 512mb flashdrive in pcmcia slot and also have the vm set to that card at 128mb. The internal hdd is still 2gb but i have it spun down all the time, and because it is not running the battery gives over 1hrs use. She seems faster than the 3400 i have with 144mb ram and a new 10gb hdd fitted. but i do not want to get into any type of debate over ppc speeds for notebooks. Thats the spec and i think she is a great little Mac what i would like to know is the tweaks to get her running faster and what sort of things to run for general use IE: web, mail, music. notes. I am asking you guys because i am new to the 2400 and even though this was the only mac laptop that i have not owned ( apart from a G4 17" note book and a back lite portable) she was the most wanted on my list and i intend to keep her for general use when out and about to give the G4 15" a rest. and because she is so small and cute. any advice taken many thanks vicki
