To me, the > 7.5.3 '040 machine is "snappier" than the 8.1 PPC machine. Hi, let me jump into this discussion... I recently got a 2300c after about 10 YEARS "doin' the Duo 210-280c shuffle" ; One thing I can say about it, sans any speed improvement, is that it sure is nice to run the same apps I use on my desktop PCI macs...! Anyway, I run OS 7.6.1 on it. Do U think Speed Doubler 8 (which I recently ordered) will be much of speed improvement? Thanks, Craig W.
