Apple's sites lists the maximum support RAM as "192 MB" because, back in those days, there were no memory chips that were larger. I think the memory controller and the pin count supports more, maybe 512 MB, but I'm not sure. Can any PDQ owners chime in? As for RAM, there's plenty of 3rd-party RAM that's cheap. But if you seek reliability, go with big-name brands like Crucial. -- Eugene Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
