PMac and Netscape

Similar situation. I have a PMac 9600/233 with a 20" Raster Ops and a 15" Apple. Sucker locks up.

Has to be a memory problem.

I cannot move the internet access to my Gateway because I will need to throw an ethernet card in the Gateway. I have 2 other machines hooked into the Internet on different ISPs but they belong to the rest of the family and are in different rooms.

Anyway, I'll get through it somehow.

Gregg,

I leave my netscape and PMac running together without any crashes for weeks at home. I leave them on all the time. Couple of things you need to do to make sure netscape says crash proof;

1) Allocate lot of memory esp. if you are going to be looking at lot of sites with java scripts. I have my netscape (version 4.05) memory set at 28MB.
2) Get the latest OS (8.1) and OT (1.3)
3) If you use Ramdoubler upgrade it to 2.0.2
4) Keep removing the "Global History" file ... response time decreases as its size increases.
5) It is better to have a dedicated partition just for Netscape cache ( I use a 10M RAM disk for cache ... makes everything faster).

Hope this helps,

Suresh
