The 7300/200 is one of the best pre-G3 powermacs in my opinion. It's not a pain in the posterior to upgrade the RAM or replace the battery like the 9500 and 8500. It has a good…

Expect a huge FS list in the Trading Post soon. Click to expand... Yay! I can't wait! :beige:

Haha, I claim a Plus

Fantastic.

I went and picked up a Power Mac 7300/200 off Freecycle today! Though I haven't gotten to try it yet; my mom's being completely unreasonable saying that I now have too many comput…

This thread isn't going anywhere... it's pretty much dead. I was proved incorrect... now isn't there a different thread for ShapeShifter benchmarks?

on my current machine there is no noticable lag whatsoever. on my previous one (G4800 / 640) the lag when launching an app was noticable.

R~ You should put together a demo with timings, or invite others to do so—concerns about speed hits are the #2 reason people shirk from SS, right after concerns for stability.

This is an extremely negligible speedhit. I mean on the nanosecond scale here. And OS X only opens most files once so you're getting this hit once. I've noticed that humans can't t…
