Actually, that limit ONLY applies to some computers: <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106235> "The "Additional Causes" listed at the bottom of this document may affect any Mac OS X-compatible computer. However, the 8 GB limitation applies specifically to these computers: * PowerBook G3 Series * Power Macintosh G3 Desktop * Power Macintosh G3 Mini Tower * Power Macintosh G3 All-In-One * Macintosh Server G3 * iMac 233 MHz * iMac 233 MHz/B * iMac 266 MHz * iMac 333 MHz " It does not apply, afaik, to upgraded pre-G3 Macs. I'll find out this weekend, since I'm setting OSX to run on my new 40GB drive. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
