We upgraded our 780 to a 785 about 2-1/2 weeks ago. We're still running bsd4.1, but also had no problems. Our performance increase was right around 50% (a few benchmarks went higher, but not by much), but we suspect that we're losing a little of the 785's extra ooomph because we only have 16-Kbit instead of 64-Kbit RAM chips.
