Re: Upgrade LC475

[stew]

Some of the articles are somewhat dated so it's great to be on a list 
with real people with real experiences.  I'd start here: 
http://lowendmac.com/performa.shtml and check out the link that's model 
specific to you.  As far as what I've done, I've swapped out the 25 MHz 
68LC040 for a 25 MHz 68040, added a PDS Ethernet card and if you read 
my previous post, I've had success with a 4.2 GB HD as well as a 9.0 GB 
HD.  I've always wanted to max out the RAM but have been uncertain as 
to what max is.  32 Mb per Apple specs but as one list member has 
reported, on this very list, has used more.  When I maxed out my 7100, 
I took out  2 x 8Mb and 2 x 16 Mb.  One of the 16 Mb RAM is in the 476 
until I decide I want/need more.  BTW All items were purchased through 
internet auctions.  -stew

How far would I be able to upgrade an LC475? Currently it has 8Mb of
RAM, and a 250Mb Hard Drive.
Is there a limit on how high I can go with either of those?

As well, a short time back I was asking about PDS Ethernet cards for
said pair of LC475s. I never got around to actually getting any of 
them,
because there were still a couple of other parts that I needed first.

 I've always wanted to max out the RAM but have been uncertain as
to what max is.  32 Mb per Apple specs but as one list member has
reported, on this very list, has used more.
I have installed 128 + 4 MB of RAM in the Q605/LC/P475/6.   I used a 
pair of Single Bank 64 MB SIMMs in a SIMMverter which is a card that 
converts one SIMM slot into two.   Grand total of 132 MB of usable 
RAM.  Of course, I couldn't close the case with the SIMMverter card 
installed.   :-)

I think someone else has reported that a single 128 MB SIMM works. 
Those can be hard to find.

Installing just a single 64 MB SIMM in the slot also worked giving 68 
MB of RAM total.   One thing to keep in mind is that the 64 MB SIMM 
must be Single Bank, not Dual Bank.   At least, that was my 
experience.  If your memory seller doesn't know what that means, find 
a different memory seller, preferably one who will let you exchange 
it if it doesn't work.
