Well, I'm officially running OS X 10.2.8 on the 8500, and it runs just as fast as it did on my B&W G3.

As for the 7100, I upgraded the RAM to 136MB (4 32MB SIMMs). Won't be able to get online with it though, as it has that terrible AAUI port on the back, otherwise, I would throw Classilla on there.

I'm not sure what to do with it otherwise though.

I did notice that as well, the onboard video was restricted to 256 colors, so after plugging it into the HPV card, I was able to get thousands of colors, though it probably needs some VRAM SIMMs to boost it even further.
