I am amazed to see a 9600 maxed out still running as a server today! 
1.5GB was a lot of RAM in 2000.
@NJRoadfan, I have an SSD drive on that mac. It also had a G4 card but I downgraded to the G3 because it wasn't handling the SATA card correctly. I prefer using System 7 on that Mac because it is the fastest system I can run on it and it does everything I need. I still use it every day as a drawing / animating station for my work. For OS X / modern stuff, I use a Mac Pro and for PPC stuff I have a Powerbook G4.
