I use this machine (6116CD) as my main Mac, and I really like it. I was using OS 7.6 but upgraded to 8.6... which is a bit less stable, unfortunately. I have 2 x 32mb RAM SIMMs, but think that it should work with 64mb SIMMS (it does NOT take the DIMMs which fit the 7300+ series!). Apple's specifications were written before the larger sticks became available, but my 7500, for instance, is specified for 64mb DIMMs but they run fine on 128s. I am quite pleased with my NewerTech MaxPowr 240mHz G3 upgrade, but could have done with a 400... -- Andrew Grebneff 165 Evans St, Dunedin 9001, New Zealand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
