I know many people who would run right out and slap the
money down for a G4/Dual G4 with AGP Pro and six or
more PCI slots, no matter what it cost, because
that is what they want.
I'd buy one in a New York minute. I'm already nearly out of slots on my
dual 1.25GHz G4.

Speaking of the topic of expandability, I also find it downright maddening
how Apple continues bottlenecking the expandability options. The first Mac

If the ROM was simply coded to ignore the extra RAM, the patching is trivial.
Hmmm. I wonder if there's any way to squeeze the IIsi ROM in there
and see what happens...

My objection is
that Apple built machines that sucked a lot more than they had to for
the same cost in parts. A simple change to the LC would be to get
rid of the memory limitation. That would not increase the cost.

That's because of the funky 64pin SIMMs and the fact
