Hello friends of the list, Two hours ago I was offered a PowerMac 6500/275mhz/96 RAM/6 GIG HD/56k modem/ZIP/Ethernet card for high speed connection. For around $200 CDN. I am tempted. My old 7200/120 is doing the job but never less slower. A friend immediately said I should not even think of the 6400/6500 family cause of the IDE drive and the EDO Ram. I have an old Microtek ScanMaker E6 (that does a terrific job), a La Cie CD burner and a StyleWriter 1200 that I want to be able to use. Is it true because of the IDE drive, you cannot have an SCSI chain? He also told me the 6500 had the worst reputation of all the PowerMacs. Is it true and why?
Also, will I be able to put the 128 memory stick in my 7200 in the 6500? I was also offered a 7300/180/64RAM with monitor for around the same price and a 7600/120/64RAM/2Gigs woth monitor and StyleWriter 2400 for around the same too. What a day!! I had been looking for three weeks and they all come to me in the same two hours. Happy me but too much of a ood thing. Thanks in advance for your precious help Germain P.S. And thanks for the help with Word too yesterday. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
