<< My first question is: 1. Does this Mac recognize 1024MB of RAM?? >> Yes, indeed it does. Just (although the chip set recognizes 1.5 GB, and you could indeed configure 1.5 GB in the quite similar 9500). >> Now, the L2 cache this machine came with is 256K. I would like to put in a 1Meg L2 cache. My second question is: 2. How come nobody out there upgrades their cache like the way their DIMMs do?? >> 512 KB and 1 MB cache cards are out there, but they often cost more than the 8500 itself does. Especially the 1 MB cache card. >> My third question is: 3. Are there 1Meg cache modules out there for this box?? Comments, criticisms, are appreciated. >> Get a good, cheap G3 upgrade card, one with 1 MB "in line" cache, remove your 256 MB cache, and go! -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
