Yes, it's quite dramatic. > OS X supports > Revision A's...does OS X support Revision A's with Upgrade cards? It's the other way around. OS X doesn't support *any* upgrade cards. The upgrade cards have to support OS X. AFAIK, Sonnet's cards don't have a problem with this. I assume Powerlogix is the same way or they probably wouldn't still be in business. > It says > on Apple.com that they don't support upgrade cards..but do support the > machine...anyone have any insight on a Revision A with a G3 upgrade > being > able to run OS X?

This changes everyday. I just hit dealram.com to do a quick check, and it appears that a 256MB chip for the iBook (which is what I assume you're talking about ... complete sentences would be nice ...) runs about $29 plus shipping from OWC and Coast-to-Coast. _Chas_ Come to ...
