Yeah, that seems to be how SDRAMs work. They just run at the lowest supported speed when multiple modules are detected.

Just to make sure it is clear: PC66, PC100 and PC133 are all SDRAM. PC133 (not yet used on Macs) and PC100 SDRAM are backwards-compatible. "Standard" SDRAM is 66MHz (and is occasio…

Thanks tooki. That's what I thought originally when I posted this discussion. Anyway, I don't have to worry about it anymore cause my Pismo arrived today and I'll just put my new …

My IE 4.5 used to be a dog ! Very slow web-page refresh. Afetr I installed OE 5.0, (without any problems what-so-ever), my IE 4.5 browser is screaming fast ! Is it my imaginatio…

Same thing happened to me, although it wasn't quite as drastic. I just got a cable modem about 2 weeks, and I had noticed that netscape seemed to be considerably faster at renderi…

WOW! For me IE 4.5 is *definetly* faster after I installed OE 5.0. It's *much* much faster. I had found IE4.5 to be virtually unusable with my cable modem, but now it's much fast…

IE 4.5 is much faster with Outlook Express 5.0. It has more features than Netscape, too. Now I get more features and faster HTML rendering. I am running Mac OS 9.0 on a Rev. A i…

Maybe it's just me - but my IE used to have a long pause after I would first start it up (I assumed it was because of my huge favorites list, and had gotten quite used to it). I j…

I noticed that IE 4.5 loads pages must faster under OS 9. I'll install OE 5.0 and see if that helps it as well... it might just be that 5.0 contains certain libraries that OS 9 ins…

Can anyone isolate what *exactly* is causing the speed up? I installed backwards -- OE 5 yesterday, and then IE 4.5 today. And it doesn't seem so quick. I'm thinking that IE 4.5…

I've seen this slowdown happen a couple of times with OE4.5 and IE 4.5 installed. What I would do is re-run the "Microsoft Internet First Run" application. This has fixed the probl…

If I am not mistaken, MS are developing [have developed??] a new rendering engine called 'Taslan'. Could it be implemented in OE5?, and also somehow in shared libaries that replac…

I use IE 4.5 on a Lombard/400 but have no intention to run OE 4.5/5.0. After reading this thread & other similar feedback around the Web, I acted on a hunch & ran only the …

There are only three components that I can see which MAY be the root cause for this speed-up. Microsoft Framework (Extension, 5.0) Microsoft Internet Library (Extension, 5.0) Micr…

IE seems to be bombing more now that I installed OE 5.0

As anthony (anthony@outshine.com) had said, when he first installed OE5, and then IE4.5, the speedup dissapeared. And as others have noticed, the following files have been upgrade…

I haven't noticed an increase in speed on IE4.5 but I have noticed that when backspacing in OE5.0 (a feature I frequently use!) that the deletion goes very slowly. Have seen this …

I discovered some time ago the Explorer 4.5 subtly slows down on launch over time. I traced the problem to the 'Download Cache' file that had grown to be several megabytes. Delet…

Does anyone know if you can have OE 5 and OE4.5 installed and working at the same time? I would like to install OE5 to get the IE speedups, but I don't want to switch from the e…

You can have them both installed... but if you try launching 4.5 while 5 is running, it'll just switch to 5. Also, all 4.5 aliases seem to point to 5. You have to launch 4.5 righ…

IE 4.5 is noticably faster now that I've installed OE 5.0 but IE is _much_ less stable. I've crashed about 3 times today when I hadn't crashed in weeks before the upgrade. Micro$…

Funny, I've found that IE seems *more* stable with OE5 than it was before. I've actually switched back to IE from Netscape in the past 24 hours, because it seems to run better. (…

Microsoft's Macintosh internet products share some common code. MacOE 5 shipped with some new libraries that were updated as part of our IE 5 development. Some of the changes mad…

I'm running OS9 final on an iMac rev.B. I used to run OE4.5 and IE4.5 just fine on my machine. Virtually never crashed. Installed OE5 the other day. Pretty icons. I haven't notic…

I've noticed slight speed improvements in IE 4.5 after installing Outlook Express 5. I'm connected directly to the internet and before it was slower. I've noticed a slight speed …
