Performance browsers in Shapeshifter

[Dynobob]

You have the answer. I used to use Netscape 3.04 with OS 7.5.5 and it worked really well. Version 4.02 and 4.03 are a bit new for that OS. You can probably still find it at Netscape.com in their archives. Any version 3.x will work well. Mac browsers don't run as fast as what you're accustomed to but they do ok. If you have enough ram you can create a ram disk (in the memory control panel) and set Netscape's cache to that. That way you'll be caching to ram instead of writing to HD.

Yeah, I'm new here  ;-) :-)
Glad to be here.

Oh, almost forgot. In Mac Classic it's very important to allocate more memory to your apps. Browsers need lots of memory. I would increase the memory allocated to Netscape by at least 100%. Normal apps...increase 20% or more.

To allocate more memory to an application:

1. click once on the programs icon (not an alias) to highlight it.

2. go to one of the pull down menus on the desktop and find "Get Info".

3. Increase the number in the "Preferred Size" window by 20 to 100 percent or more.

If you allocate at least 20% more memory to all your apps, everything will run much better and your machine will be more stable.

PM me if you have further Mac questions.
