OK, Gang. Looking for a little guidance here.
Just "inherited" a G3 Wallstreet 233 no L2 cache. Read: client bought
new 17" G4 PB...a shock to her system, I must say...! She felt less
than a connection with her old trusty workhorse, and it ended up in
the dustbin, along with all its attachments. Those attachments
include: zip drive & CD (both internal modules) external modem (56k)
USB PCM/CIA card & Microsoft USB mouse, travel bag (brand new...!).
So, it was sort of a good package, and I couldn't think of it being
carted off to the dump. Now, I have another client whose daughter has
been awarded a scholarship to University, starting this fall. I would
like to give this to her as I know her folks can't afford to get her
a computer for school. (She has worked out a plan to lease time on a
schoolmate's computer, plus use the school's computers as much as she
could. Enterprising young thing!)
Currently it runs OS9 perfectly adequate, but I'd like to speed
things up to run OSX.
I also want to add an internal modem & wireless card. I have sourced
the modem, but I need some advice on two things.
1) What wireless card would be the best choice for this box
2) Would installing the L2 cache card be enough of a boost or can
I/should I upgrade to a higher mhz?
The pb is pretty much mint, apart from these things.
Any help would be appreciated.
