Well I took the plunge today and decided to fit my 128mb RAM upgrade and 4mb ex-G3 hard drive into my 3400c/180. For anybody out there wanting to do the same but feeling a bit nervous about the procedure, it's not too bad. In fact the only tricky moment came when replacing the palm rest assembly, but I think that was just my fat fingers (I was surprised when I found a tiny fan in there too under the trackpad). I got the RAM from OWC for only 69 dollars and it arrived here in England really quickly. The hard drive made me panic when I realised the mounting holes were in a different place to the original drive but luckily the bracket has extra holes to account for this. I've now got a great little machine that will run Photoshop at a leisurely pace, and will even accept the MMC card from my digital camera using the PC card adaptor I found on ebay. It's great being able to surf in the lounge without trudging upstairs to the G4 too.
