Dana Wow, that's about one of the best uses I have heard of for a 62xx! Last week, I (unfortunately) had to visit again with my current customer's Performa 6214CD. He had complained of Netscape being unbearably slow on it... I upgraded the RAM to 64MB and took him down to Netscape 3.0, but it didn't help *that* much... I then tried to explain to him, as gently and tactfully as I could, so as not to turn him off to Macs altogether, that the 62xx series were severely crippled in terms of, well, everything, and that he shouldn't rely on it too much for web surfing. (He has a beige G3 that's *his* computer; the Performa is his kid's; they also have an LCIII with 36MB, which actually seems faster than the Performa... go figure...) I know this is way off topic now! Sorry!! :O (And while we're off topic... This is from the LEM page about the Performa 6200... 32-bit memory - what exactly does this refer to? Everymac.com says is has a 64-bit bus but I had a hunch they were wrong... ?) Sure, it's 64bits, right out to the pins on the CPU. :P From there it splits into two 32bit busses. Could be that was one of the Macs I dinked with at Wal-Mart and saw how slow it was compared to the snazzy and fast Packard Bell (Packaged Hell) sitting next to it. Earlier than that, Wal-Mart had Macs like an LC-II next to a 486/25 running Windows 3.1 with 16bit color. Let's see, which would a newbie buy? A Mac that can only do 256 colors and is slow enough that the demo can be seen blitting the graphics to the screen or the PC showing a slideshow of TIFF images in brilliant thousands of colors and switching them fast enough that you can't see the screen redraw? (And the PC has double the RAM, standard.) Yup. Apple hurt their percived reputation with all those slower and limited models that were sold in places like Wal-Mart next to the Packaged Hells which were the pi$$-poor end of the PCs but certainly appeared faster. :P = The earth swarms with inhabitants.
