32 Meg modules are not stackable. 24s and smaller are. Even though the Max RAM in that slot is 48, it must be done with either 2-24s or a single 48 module. Why? I have no idea, but probably is something in the RAM recognition side of the ROM. GURU shows many combinations of the 4, 8, 16 and 24 Meg modules, but shows the 32 Meg and 48 Meg modules as being only allowed as single units.)
You can stack the RAM that allows stacking even if you have the 16 Meg Apple setup. (8 on the MB and 8 in the Apple expansion slot.) I have a 1400 running that way now while my other uses a single 48 Meg, the 8 on the MB and a 4 Meg in the Apple slot. The only problem with the stacked RAM is when attempting to use a 3rd party video card. The Apple 8 bit card can be used in the stacked module 1400, but the 16 bit 3rd party card is larger and will not allow the top RAM module to be installed. (The 16 bit card had to be put in the 1400 with the single 48 Meg module.) Both have G3 upgrades,([EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]) which don't interfere with any other upgrades. I'd love to upgrade the 4 Meg Apple RAM module to an 8, but they are a terrible buy per Meg and not worth the investment for the tiny gain. RAM Doubler has a better bang for the buck, allowing triple the RAM under OS 9.1, without slowing them very much. David Allen -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
