I'm going to try to get some memory today. I'm not sure if Fry's carries memory for older Macs or what their pricing would be like but there are a couple of places in Santa Clara (Ca) that have some new memory going for $25 & $28 for 64 MB DIMMS. Any feedback on either of these two:
MemoryX: http://www.memoryx.net/apl168b64.html
EXCELERATE (S.A. Technologies): http://www.satech.com/11449-0002.html
Given the convenience and barring any negative feedback I will try to get something today so I can get moving on this project. Strange thing was I was having dreams about installing memory and having success:) Must be some kind of Mac affliction taking hold...
With regards to the G3 upgrade if Yellow Dog will work with it then I might try that on another machine. I think my Brother-in-law might have some more of these old Macs lying around and I'd like to do something with one to get it on my home network as a web server or file server. Basically any excuse getting one going so I can gain the experience working with Apples.
Regards,
Thomas
I don't know about those places, but you can try posting a WTB on the LEM Swap List for the memory you need.
As far as upgrading a Mac, nothing against the 5400 but if you want to move to a g3/g4 processor I would consider getting at least a 7300, 7500/7600 or newer. These Macs are cheap, upgrade cards for them are cheap, and they can accommodate up to 1GB of RAM, have separate VRAM, 3 PCI slots, and a 50MHz bus speed instead of 40.
