Faster Browsing On Macs

Try none, one or more of the following to help speed up internet browsing on your old or new Mac:

*If you have a 68881 FPU in your Mac, replace it with a 68882. (The only Mac to ship with a 68881 was the Mac II .) If your Mac does not have an FPU but has the potentiality for one (via card in IIsi or LC), then install one.
*Use 32-bit addressing, regardless of physical RAM size. (68000-based Macs cannot use 32-bit addressing; older Macs may require Mode32 to use 32-bit addressing.)
*Frequently empty your browsers cache.
*Set the Monitor control panel to black and white @ 1-bit.
*Deselect auto-load images in your browser.
*If your Mac uses system memory for video (esp. IIsi ,IIci ), install a NuBus video card. Alternatively, use IIsi-RAM-Muncher to prevent the OS from using the same bank of memory used for video.
*Turn off Virtual Memory, which is slow on a 68030-based Mac. Obtain more physical memory instead. Install RamDoubler if physical memory is maxed out.
*Increase Navigator's heap size to largest possible.
*Put browser's cache folder on a RAM disk (Apple's RAM disk or a third party one such as ramBunctious or AppDisk ). See A RAM Disk Alternative for another option.
*Use Navigator 2.02 or version 4. Version 3 is problematic on B&W screens.

The following browsers should work well with older PowerBooks (PB 140, 145, 145B, and 170): iCab, Cyberdog, Wannabe 68K and MacLynx
