I reckon that it would be too slow, but I have no experience running it on 68k hardware.~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit

4.7 is PPC only, unfortunately. If you want to run Netscape on your 840AV, i'd say go with some variant of 4.0. Its only a couple of years old, and handles most new sites quite nicely, as well as being quite speedy on your 840AV. I run it on my LC630, which has a slightly slower CPU than your 840AV, and i am extremely impressed with its performance. However, it could also be a good idea to wait until July and hope that iCab gets its issues sorted out. I used 2.6 and loved it, but 2.7.1 is acting very weird. I hope they get it sorted out. I want my iCab back!  -------------------------- Pizzabox LCs RULE!!!!!!! Warrior maclover5

Netscape 4.0.8 is the last 68k version, and it works very well on my Quadra 840av and Duo 280c, faster than iCab in my experience.666th poster and 666th thread-creator
