Re: Upgrade Question

[Greg & Rachel Olson]

More ram is always better.  Have enough, then turn off virtual memory 
to speed up the computer.  In all actuality, I loaded 10.1 onto a 
scsi drive from another computer and found the lowest booting 
hardware in my PowerWave to be a 604e/120 with 64Mb of RAM.  Pretty 
slow, but it works.  You can easily pick up a second hand G3 on ebay, 
an 800Mhz G4 from Sonnettech.com, or powerlogix.com or newertech.com 
(goes to other world computing).  You can take the machine all the 
way to 9.2 as well with os9forever.com 's hack.  The vram upgrade is 
definitely worth it if you don't have any other display adapter in 
the machine.

     The answers to these have long since disappeared from MacWorld, so
I'd appreciate comments from anyone with experience doing the same.
Alternatively, of course, I could just buy a new Mac with OS X, but I'd
prefer not to do that for the moment.
