Greetings all, I am a very happy owner of my first ever Mac computer. It's a Powermac 9600, 300 Mhz, 128 megs ram, 4 gigs HD running Mac OS 9.1 .. I've been able to use my PC LCD display with it and so far haven't encountered any problems. I want to make some minor upgrades to this box right now (more substantial upgrades later.. like a g3 daughter card).
First one.. after doing some research online I discovered that this computer uses "64 or 128 70ns DIMM" memory. What kind of cash are we looking at here for some ram like that (I'm assuming it isn't manufactured anymore since the newer macs use normal PC133 ram)? I would like to upgrade it to atleast 256 megs if not more. Secondly, this computer doesn't have any USB ports. I have a Logitech 2 button optical mouse which I use on one of my PC's. Will I be able to use this mouse on a mac (again I'm assuming there are drivers for it since they're common mice) or will I need a special mac USB mouse. And can someone recommend a cheap/good USB PCI card which will work with this powermac? That's all for now, I would appreciate any help or information regarding these inquiries.
