I actually have used several extensions sets also, one with and one without OMS. Since I have to restart to turn off Virtual Memory anyway, can anyone tell me what are the minimum necessary extensions in MacOS 8.6 for the fastest and most stable performance? There are all these 3D and videocard enablers that I have no idea if they are important or not. I do know you need Quicktime..... -Marshall

Hey - great question! I'd like to know this too. Regards Dave H > I actually have used several extensions sets also, one with and one without > OMS.

If you have enough time do a restart and reboot logic every time until it runs. This is the surest way to find out !!! you sure dont need the clock, mouse, keyboard (unless you use a foreign lingo) and 80% of what else the stuff in there as default, so take this time and do it once ! you wont gain much in memory , but the system is faster and stable ciao hanno Hanno di Rosa http://www.dubbing.de/origin origin@d... http://www.luda.it/people/origin
