How important is the pram battery in the Wallstreet? At $45 shipped and involved installation, how much difference would it make for a unit with a so-so battery that's usually plugged in? A wallstreet should still function with a dead PRAM. If you want to keep the date and time correct you w

If it boot chimes and the HD seems to be working, but you get no video, this most likely means you have a Wallstreet 1 CPU (233/no L2, 250, 292 MHz) on a Wallstreet2 motherboard (Rage Pro LT video chipset). I have a 292 and 233, but the one that isn't labeled is this: ck8241xxbkeaw (kinda

IIRC that is only with a G4 upgrade. Mike They can replace the L2 with A G3 or a G4, but it might be tied to purchasing the new CPU. Its worth asking them if they will change out only the L2 cache. if Daystar wont do it Wegener might. Mad Dog -- G-Books is sponsored by
