Right, you'd told me this box was accellerated and then it slipped my mind. I think the performance bottleneck is the virtual memory, actually. I tend to keep a lot of stuff open at once. I was playing MP3s earlier, and the playback was hiccuping until I quit most of the apps I had open and freed up some RAM. (It might have been the CPU cycles they were burning even though I had most of them idling -- MacOS 9 is cooperative multitasking, not pre-emptive, right? Which means busy-loops? -- but the big difference was when I got down to what fit in physical memory.) Anyhow, it's still faster than the 7200. Gonna wait until I have more attention-span than I've had lately before I try the G3 card ... and after I try to install Solaris on a Sparc 2.
