I simply removed the 16MB video RAM card from my dead G3 Blue & White 350Mhz minitower, and then installed it into the PowerMac 7300/500. Very simple. Only took about five minutes tops!
The extra video RAM made a huge difference in refresh time!! In fact, I can hardly tell any difference between the G3 B/W 350 and PM 7300/180. I first installed the video RAM when the 7300 was still a 7300/180. With the G3 500Mhz upgrade, my old 7300 runs much quicker. PM 7300/500 (200MB RAM, OS 8.6/9.1, 40GB HD, 6GB HD, USB, DSL, Netscape 6.2.3, IE 5.1.7) -- vjamacaddict http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/VernAndrews/ �������������������������������������������� > From: David Elmo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Subject: [PCI] 7300/180 Additions >> From: MacAddictvja <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> I added a controller card so I can connect an additional drive. > > You can have many drives on the built in so maybe you mean for enhanced > performance? > >> Took the >> 16MB video RAM from my dead G3 Blue & White > > This is a new one to me.
