Hi ClassicHasClass,
The hack is because the openGL installer wont install on 7 so you have to extract the files with TomeViewer. I explain how I did in the last post of this thread => http://forums.system7today.com/viewtopic.php?t=14&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=12
In fact, I bought this computer as a second hand in 1999. It came with 7.5 and 8.1 and at the time, I first installed and used 8.1 (for a few years) , then 9.1... then I made it a G3 and a G4. It's only recently I realized I never used it with its original system. So I did and was amazed by the speed. It's a few months now and I still didn't go back to my 9.1 partition.
Because for me "fast" is more to do with how the computer responds to the user events, I am making it the fastest mac I ever owned. haha!

Well, I don't say that Quake 3 will run better on 7, I was saying that there are plenty of really cool apps on 7 (I used Quake 3 as an example because it's not supposed to work). I don't really miss much from 9 but 3ivx and I forgot to mention Classila!
