PBs 1400 are notoriously RAM flaky. The 1400's memory controller is especially sensitive to timing variations in the RAM modules, and adding additional RAM usually makes things worse. The longer circuits (with additional modules) add capacitance which affects how the RAM and memory controller i

Powerbook 1400 maximum installed memory is 64 mb. Anything over that and you probably won't boot up. There are "quirks" with Powerbook 1400 memory modules. One of them is that reversing the position of the modules will sometimes solve memory recognition problems. Mine has 8 mb. built in, a 24 a
