I have a Performa 6360 with a PPC 603e running at 166MHz with the original 1.2GB HDD and 40MB RAM on MacOS 7.5.3 (fresh install from the disc that came with it).
I want to speed it up a little bit and install MacOS 9.1 to play Quake III and UT99 on LAN parties, but still be able to dual boot with 7.5.3 to make disks for my Macintosh Plus. Would a Vimage G3 upgrade card that goes in the L2 cache slot be a good investment (along with some more RAM)? Or would it be cheaper and easier to get a faster Performa or one of the beige G3 towers/desktops? If so, which machine would you guys recommend I get that can still run 7.5.3, but is also faster?
Ethernet:
What kind of card should I get for Ethernet on this machine? It has a comm slot as well as PCI, but I don't know what models of PCI cards to get, or where to get a commslot card or what kind I should get (commslot 1/commslot2). I need an ethernet card so I can more easily transfer files to it from my newer 2xG4 Quicksilver than by using floppy disks.
If I need to add more info to my post to better ask the questions, I will gladly do it. This is my first post here.
Thanks-
