I just ordered new 15" powerbook and of course I would be running OS X as I do on my G3/700 iBook but from time to time I have to use OS9 to do some tests. I was looking on Apple website but there is nothing about OS 9 anymore. Does the new powerbooks run OS9 (not in classic mode)?

PS. I wish my iBook is OS X was as fast as in OS9. I wouldn't need to upgrade my lapotop as I have to now.

You can run classic, but the computer will not boot into OS 9.

I imagine Classic will be just fine, OS 9 booting is a nobro.

Edit: What's with your horrible grammar?
