What's wrong it? I've just read the third message saying to throw it out. -- Can't get on the net unless you grease and beat it. Doesn't do more than 256 colors, 64MB limit, and it's slooow if it's doing anything but going out a window. Hell, it can't even go out the window fast enough -- Gene, a.k.a.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the Performa 6214 was the equivelant of a PowerMac 6100/60... As I remember it was in no way related to the 5200/6200 series. Terry http://lowendmac.net/roadapples/x200.shtml They're sort of a mutated Quadra with a built in PowerMac upgrade, but not as good. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: What's wrong with the 6214? (Was: 64MB SIMMs)
I'll correct myself. :-) I'm thinking of the Performa 6114, not the 6214. My apologies. Terry Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the Performa 6214 was the equivelant of a PowerMac 6100/60...

William I've got an old 6200 and they are slow. I put 48mb of ram in it and it helped alittle but not much. External 56k modem didn't help much either. Been thinking about using it for a continious running slide show. The kids still use it for some of the Sim games. Craig As slow as they are, and as painful to deal with when used to other macs, the first mac I used regularly was my sister's 6300 - I put 32Mb extra in it for 48Mb, and it's 1Gb drive was enough at the time. My sister worked as a graphic designer at the time and had photoshop, illustrator and xPress on it - as a transition from old-style computer user to a mac addict, it worked for me! The machine is having software problems at the moment with crashes galore on my niece (who uses it now) and will be coming back to me for a fixing - I'm sure I'll notice the speed problems in time, but it certainly worked - even if nowhere near the potential of it's components!
