I seem to be having a small problem with speed on my Mac Classic. For some reason, my mac runs applications noticably slower than either Mac SE's or Mac+'s. I am currently running system 6.0.7 with 2.5 Megs of RAM. The extra .5 meg is from an old SE (128 ns chips, I think) I checked the speed of various applications (Word, Excell, and a couple of games) while running no inits, and my classic crawls in comparison. The only causes of this problem that I could think of are either the old simms, or an error in system 6.0.7 (I know there are errors with the memory manager for the si, lc and ci) Has anyone had any similar speed problems with a classic? I'd rather not take the memory out to see if this is the problem. Is there a way to "shut off" memory? Are there any benchmark programs out there that I can use to get a definative speed check? Any help/comments/ideas would be very welcomed. Thanks in advance, Michael Attan Please send correspondence to zinder2500@aal.itd.umich.edu and I will summarize and repost.
