![]() You need to look at each of your PCI cards, and video card, and either move them or update their drivers and firmware. The old "bomb" box showed up and everything froze. ![]() When I first ran the installation CD it crashed. Then I could open folders and click on buttons as necessary. I had to unload drivers off the internet. First you have to figure out how to make your keyboard work in OS 9. You start your system up in OS 9 and run the installation disc from Sonnet. It doesn't matter if the OS 9 disc is separate from your OS X disc and programs, in fact for me it was preferable. You need OS 9 for installing the special software that Sonnet provides on a CD. From the "clean" disc there was no problem booting up into OS 9. It was a clean hard drive that I partitioned for a small OS 9 boot disc, and the rest will be a place to keep various projects. The solution for me was to copy the OS 9 system folder to another hard drive in my computer, that was blank and did not have OS X already one. I begged and borrowed OS9 install discs but none of them worked either. I had an old OS 9 system disc still in the hard drive, but I could not boot up successfully. *OS9* - You need to boot up in OS 9 at least from one disk in your computer. Here are the highlights of my experience. Putting in the Sonnet software was a real exercise I seems for some it is straightforward and for others it is problematic it is a fragile process. ![]() Overall, the whole computing experience has benefitted from the upgrades, the multi-tasking and leaping from program to program is crisp and speedy. These have been reduced to 30s to two or three minutes, so a five-fold speed gain. I do some music conversion, vinyl to MP3, and some of the software processes for cleaning up the music were quite time consuming with the 733, anywhere from 3 to 15 minutes per run. I also added a faster harddrive and more memory, but it was the Processor that really made the difference. I have just added the dual 1.8 GHz processor to my (former) 733 Mz Quicksilver G4. Adding a dual 1.8 GHz processor will significantly reduce task times, obviously those that are processor intensive.
