i'll watch for this , Cameron, and report back when all is said and done (at least with the RAM).... rick
now that i've made a commitment to this little computer that i've grown very attached to, probably too much so, but i love this keyboard, i will be fixing it up to the best it can be, more-or-slightly less (i'll probably go with a slightly slower processor card... my kind of work - mostly writing - doesn't need high power processor speeds: the most important program for me remains Word 5.1A with Endnote 2.2 integrated.) >> > now, i'm just plain curious.... if i have it right in my head, then it >> > goes like this: this rig always shipped with 8 on the motherboard; and >> > there is a further fixed 8 put in by apple for a consistent total of 16; >> >> Some early 1400/117 shipped with a 4MB apple card for 12MB base. > >Mine is one of these (1400cs/117).
