[QUOTE="Badger, post: 48828"] I just did a service call on a Rev A (233mhz) model that was running 10.2.6 without problems. It had 160mg of RAM and the full 6 mg of VRAM. It did seem slow in some areas but not substantially slower than OS 9 on my 333mhz Rev D. The drawbacks were that it had the original 4gb hard disk and had only about 750 mg available after the two systems were installed and with only 6 mg of VRAM it doesn't like high video loads. I think it would benefit from more RAM (it maxes out at 256 mgs on this model) and a bigger HD but it's hard to justify the costs involved. Badger [/QUOTE]
