RAM possibly incompatible. If you used the OEM 32mg card from your beige, the answer is "yes". OEM beige G3 RAM was PC66 SDRAM; the B+W needs PC100 (or 133 can be used) Also check for minimum amount: I'm not sure, but you might need a minimum of 64 or 128 Mg for successful boot-up. However, I am VERY sure about the PC100 part. > Any ideas what I could do to test this machine. > > Franz > Bangkok Best regards, Dana -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
