Yes. > 1b) If it does, does it treat it as one large battery, or does it give > you two battery indicators? Two separate indicators. If you use the percentage indication it will calculate the TOTAL for both batteries and recalculate upon removal of one battery. > Also, I want to upgrade the processor.

Would the speed increase be significant? I have a G3 > 233 w/cache now, and I use OS X 10.2. I have a 466 MHz PowerLogix upgrade in my PDQ/Wallstreet. I'm not sure that $120 to $200 is worth only up to a 66 MHz increase in clock speed. By RAM instead, OS X loves RAM more than clock speed (although clock speed helps) and you'll get more bang for your buck. > Thanks, > -Dustin Phil Burk ________________________________________________________ Systems Support Technician Wiley Publishing, Inc. 10475 Crosspoint Blvd Indianapolis, IN 46256 317.572.3049 phone 317.572.1049 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
