Al, Thanks for the links, I've added them as well! I just got confirmation that the guy I've bought the Powerbook from, has gotten the PayPal payment. I should hear from him today on the confirmation of shipping info/ETA to me.
As for Crucial - I've dispatched them an email on the RAM and the reply was, they are only selling the 64MB DIMMs because they know they will work. They're not sure on supporting anything higher than that. I've seen quite a few postings that it does run on 512MB, so that's what I'm shooting for. OS9 would be the base OS for me, I do my other stuff on my 'grumble-Windows-grumble' machines as well as my website programming. OSX would be even better, since I also would like to learn *nix on it as a dedicated machine. I'd like to thank everyone for their AWESOME support in getting me started on my Apple-adventure! You've all been such a comfort, since to be honest, I'm pretty 'scared' jumping into a new platform. But I'm sure I'll get there! Hope everyone's Easter was a peaceful and fun as mine! -- Anthony -----Original Message----- From: G-Books [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al Poulin Sent: Monday, April 12, 2004 12:29 PM To: G-Books Subject: Re: RAM / HDD for Apple Powerbook 'WallStreet 233/512Mhz' "Anthony Perez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 1.

I think I'm beginning to like MacHome better for my purposes. At http://www.smalldog.com you can subscribe to the weekly Kibbles and Bytes for useful info.

Also, look at OWC (OtherWorldComputing) and Smalldog. Unless you intend to do heavy Photoshop work, graphics intensive stuff, music, or games, 256MB should be plenty with OS 9. If you migrate to OS X, then it's best to max out the RAM. -- Al Poulin -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
