you should have 4 slots for ram  each will hold a max. of 256mb for a total
max of 1gb ..ish.

another list you want to get on is the LEM swap list < always helps to trade
for upgrades if ya can >

There is also a chance that you can go overboard on upgrades before losing
justification in getting an AGP G4 <PCI G4 is virtually same as B&W with a
G4 chip>

so here's an example for you of an upgrade path and what you can get things
for if you have the time to look around...< I may of gone a little overboard
<G> - happens> 

Here is what I started with about 4 months ago....
(when I first joined)

B&W G3/400
DVD-rom
SCSI pci
0 ram
0 video card
0 Hard drive   ($285)

here's what I have Today, and just finished it off with a 60gb HD < have an
8 in at present from old Umax C600 >

G4/400 (overclocked to 450)  ($3) ($65 est.from a trade/sold G3/400 for $62)
60gb ATA HD  ($70)
DVD/CDRW 8x8x8x24x ($65)
100mb Zip Drive ATA ($20)
Zip Bezel   ($6)
1GB Ram  ($110)
Radeon Mac ddr 32mb   ($100)
G-port < serial adapter where internal modem goes >  ($20)
SoundBlaster PCI ($45)
Floppy USB  ($20)
20" Apple Multi-sync  ($60)

*shipping included in prices*

best deal of all was my 20" Apple multi-sync I got off ebay and picked up
locally < saved $50 shipping charge >

Total as sits today ($814) ...ish.

when I added it all up today, $800 clams for a B&W system seems a bit
much... especially remembering back 6mos or so trying to find a B&W Tower
under $300 for my broke a _ _ .

but then I remembered back to '96  i think it was   when I thought I got
such a good deal on a 6 mo. old 6320 ( with remote control =) ) system/boxed
for $800.  I dont remember if I was any more or less happier with my almost
new, almost top of line   Mac   but this thing sure does scream for an old
man of 3yrs of age. =)

btw  it speedtests overall between a factory G4/800 and a G4/733.

hope this helps you along the way and gives you a little idea, I know this
list sure has helped me out alot =)  and for that Im very thankful.


Go Braves

...oh yeah...this is post season =)   silly me.....
