From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I do believe a 9150 can use eight 72-pin SIMMs. And, if that's true, then an 8100 probably can as well, as a 9150 is an extension of an 8100. But, I've never owned an 8100, although I own and use three 9150s. Thanks for the info. Silly me, after I asked the

From: Scott Holder The big thing though is the PPCs will surf at the same speed as the Quadras running the latest and greatest browsers. So you get better compatibility. Hum... I was using iCab in both cases - one the ppc version the other 68K. So I got compatibility that way :-) John
