Minor point, the 5300 is IDE HD. Better method is to increase system memory. I bought a 48Mb module from MemoryX. http://www.memoryx.net/pow5316.html Note: this page is for a 5300 with 16Mb on the motherboard. There is another page for models with 8Mb on the MB. > >Any flaws with this thinking? -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
