That's the highest resolution color monitor you can use without a PDS/NuBus video card. It needs a Sync-On-Green monitor. Most/All Apple monitors of 13 or 14" size will work. Some third party monitors work also. > >2. I enabled 32-bit addressing and it made the System take up 9MB less RAM, >but my system performance seems slower. What are the advantages and >disadvantages of 32-bit addressing? Under 24 bit addressing the system isn't using more RAM, it's just that it reports all the memory over 8Mb as in use by the System. 24 bit addressing only allows for 8Mb RAM usually. 32 bit addressing allows (in theory) up to 2Gb RAM but the IIsi is limited to quite a bit less than that by it's memory controller. Having more memory available can sometimes seem to make the system run slower. More of a program can be loaded if more memory is available which takes longer to load it but once it's loaded the system is faster. With Systems 7.0 through 7.5.5 the option of 24 vs 32 bit addressing is primarily there for compatibility with some older software. Said software won't work under 32 bit addressing. Otherwise you would normally use 32 bit addressing. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
