Hello everyone! :-D
I got ahold of some System 7.5 floppies, and
I installed it on this old laptop... But it
runs slow as heck! >:-(
Is there any way I can make it run faster?
(Maybe some tuner app, RAM Doubler or
something...)
Thanks! ;-)

BTW: I'm writing this from that lappy!

If I connect my microwave to my PC, will I be able to download food?

Hi, It may be that apple prefs has turned
on virtual memory as you're running on too
little memory for the 520c and 7.5. The
mac's more than capable of running at a
decent speed. Check the memory control
panel and turn off virtual memory. Ram
Doubler would slow the mac down just the
same.

Hmm... Well, if I disable virtual memory, then I can't launch IE due to lack of memory! Anything else I can do? Thanks! ;-)

PS: "just mac a new mac"
What a typo! Haha! :-D

go to www.mactracker.ca. and look in the database for the
lowest OS version you can install. also put in the most
memory you can.

but always better to mac a new mac. can this catchy phrase
be patented? hey, it's mine, i thought it up!! No, really...
