I just recieved a 9500/132 stock machine (40/2g/4x) and I have a couple of
questions.

I am thinking about upgrading it and replacing my 7100/G3 240 with it ( I
was saving for a B&W G3, but this machine may be a stopgap until I can get
a G4)

1) Is there a web site or other instructions for taking the machine apart
to add ram? I know it is tough and I am planning on adding 2 128meg Dimms (
I currently have 136 meg in my 7100 and am getting close to using it all,
256 should be plenty). Is the 9500 so hard to take apart that I should up
the ram for usage a couple of years from now?

2) I know the 9500 can take advantage of interleaved ram, which slots do I
put in the 2 dimms to take advantage of this?

3) I am looking at Powerlogix G3 400 cards for the proccessor. Both run the
cache at 200 mhz, one with 512k and the other with 1meg of cache. The 1meg
is $30 more than the 512k.  How far has anybody pushed the Powerlogix card
in a 9500? What I have found implies that the $30 would be money well spent
for the performance boost, any thoughts?

TIA

Len Gerstel
