Works fine, and I got it from...uhmmm...I think these guys: http://www.memorysolutions.com/64mb72pinsimm.html There are better deals on RAMSeeker.com, though. You can also put a 128 MB SIMM in there; someone posted recently that Coast to Coast Memory has 128 MB SIMMs in stock that work fine. >get a better monitor.

I know I've got 7.1, 7.5.3, 7.6.1, and 8.1, but know 7.1 is a lot faster than the rest. >Fourth I read the article (linked from LEM) about over clocking this >machine. Has anyone here tried it?

Does that apply to later OS's, or does it even Overclocking alters the gestalt ID, in which case you ought to be able to fix it with ResEdit or Wish I Were. Just install the OS before you overclock to avoid the problem entirely :) >work with later OSs? Does the PDS still work if you overclock it? Mine works fine with an Ethernet card. >Fifth, does changing out the LC040 to a full 040 provide much of a boost? Not in day-to-day work. >Does it produce any compatibility problems?

I'm guessing an '040 upgrade card (for an LCIII) probably >wouldn't work, but anything else? Ethernet and audio are the only two things that are practical or worthwhile; there are a few video-in cards but they're so rare you might as well forget it, and the video-out cards are almost universally slow. The PPC cards are a huge waste of money unless you get one free, but they don't work with 64 MB SIMMs anyway. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
