Our Power Mac 7500/100 upgraded to a 200 MHz 604e runs like a scalded tiger, but even with the slower system bus, I would have expected more out of the upgrade. I tried it in the other machine – same improvement, so sent the unopened upgrade back. The 604e/180-200 Sonnet upgrades at $200 sounded like just the prescription, so I bought two, upgraded a machine, found it runs maybe 10% faster than its original equipment sister. We tried Mac OS 8.0 on one of the 6116s, and it made it run about as fast as a Mac Plus on LocalTalk. All have 40 MB of RAM and are running on Mac OS 7.6. No matter what I do with the 6116s, they run the database at the same speed or slower than the 636s. The files themselves are on a Power Mac 7200/120. 1998 – TG writes: I’m in a weekly newspaper office that has a couple of Performa 6116s and Performa 636s doing essentially the same job: email with First Class, minimal word processing with Word 5.1, and mostly shared access to FileMaker database of some size.
