Dear Micke-
This is all new to me but my techie friend will understand. According to my System
Profiler I have a Power PC G3 with 192MB of memory. But the screen on my HD shows I
have 1.5G left, whatever this means. You said I need 384MB of memory so do I need to
buy another 192MB of DIMMs?
confused,
doug
