Hi
I've heard a wallstreet can actually be up'd to 1gig instead of the 512k max

It's actually that you can up it to 512 rather than the (something
really small - 192??) official Apple max.
At the time it came out only 128-Meg chips would fit it, they

Another thing to remember, besides the 66mHz bus speed, is the limited

architecture. The Pismo and Rev.A Tibook use the Rage128 Mobility. It's
noticeably faster. It's not as fast as the Radeon, but it's much faster
than the Rage

FWIW, we're going to be releasing a 500mhz G3 card for the Wallstreet within
15 days, which will NOT require any software to run, as it runs on the
original apple firmware. It will be quite competetively priced, and will be
on our website..

I was considering a Lombard and checked the bus speed of those models

upgrade especially for the G4 upgrade? Can someone who has the upgrade
