Hello all. I'm in the process of buying a Powerbook 1400c with a G3 Upgrade
off eBay and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with some questions
I have. I've been perusing the used items for a few days now while I'm
anxiously awaiting my new Powerbook 1400/G3 and I'm confused on how the
memory works.
For one thing, what's the REAL memory limit? Apple lists it as 64, but I'm
seeing Powerbook 1400's on eBay with 80mb of RAM! At first I figured the
Sellers were listing the virtual memory instead of the real Ram...but I've
also seen auctions for 32mb memory cards for the 1400 that are
stackable...two of which, plus the stock ram, would give theoretically give
the machine 80mb's...
Has anyone tried doing this or have done it?
Also, are ALL 32mb chips stackable? I believe mine has a 32mb chip in it
already (if what the seller says is accurate)...so I'm wondering if I can
get away with just buying another 32mb chip to get to 80mb....
I just bought a 10 gig hard drive so I'm okay for hard drive space, but that
RAM limitation is a killer. I really don't want to live with 64 mb unless I
have to. Anyone have any background on this?
Tony Smith,
Anxious Mac Pappy
P.S. If anyone has any PB 1400 items for sale, please email me privately. I
may be interested.
