Hello Listers I'm returning to the list after an extended absence and I have some questions about upgrading my G3 beige 233MHz. desktop I'd appreciate any suggestions. You can also email me directly at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> if you wish.
OK here goes: 1. RAM: - I want to max out the RAM. What is the most effective max for the G3? - Are PC100 or PC133 DIMMS equally good - I can get both locally. - Are there better alternatives? - Any tricks to installing them? 2. ZIF Upgrades. What to get? - OWC has G3/533 and G4/450 MHz ZIFs for about the same price. Is there any advantage to going with the G4? - Other suppliers you like better? - Installing is easy? 3. USB/Firewire - I need a USB card. Will G3 support USB V.2 cards? - Is USB 1.1 satisfactory? - Can I use any USB card or must I check for some specific Mac requirement? - Is it worthwhile getting a combo USB/Firewire card even tho I have no present requirements for Firewire? 4. What other ideas do you have to make my G3 the Mac of my (poor man's) dreams? Thanks in advance for helping out.
