Hi PBListers,
I'm about to open my PB1400c/117/32 for the first time (yippee!). Never
done it before, but readiing the manual seems to indicate that it's not
difficult.... (if I can tear apart and rebuild a Rochester carb, surely I
can handle a 1400? :-{)....
Anyway, my reason for opening it is to determine the configuration of the
current 32 Megs of Ram in preparation for maxing it out to 64. Eventually
leading to a G3 card.
**Will it be clear once I get inside what the configuration is? Does each
card say something obvious like 24RAM on it?**
I assume if I'm lucky, the previous owner will have had 12 standard and
added a 24 to get to 32. This would leave me to get a 32 Meg card. If
there was 16 originally it would have either another 16 meg card or two 8s
(is there even an 8Meg card option?).
The worst scenario would be for there to be two 12Meg cards already filling
the expansion slots, which would mean taking one out and putting in 32 for
a total of 56 is this correct? Or is there such thing as a 40 Meg Ram card
(I've never heard of such a beast). I have seen a 48 Meg card, and that
would add up to 60Megs with the original 12 - or 64 if it started out with
16 - am I missing something?
Thanks for your help,
Rick
