I just found the low end mac site and this group after I dug out the 5300cs that I had gotten at a garage sale for cheap and wanted to know if there was anything I could do to upgrade it. From what I've been able to gather, there really isn't much I can do to it other than a larger HD and more memory, is that correct?
Max of 64Mb. I got the upgrade for mine at www.memoryx.net.
I put a 20Gb drive in mine. Overkill but it came in handy later for when I moved it to a G3.
If you are using an MP3 player or digital camera a flash media to PC Card adapter is useful.
You can get network cards for it, either wired or wireless. On it's own, the 5300 isn't worth connecting wirelessly but if you already have it and can find the right kind of adapter cheap it doesn't hurt.
You can also put a modem card in it. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting
