These two Macs are essentially the same; the 6500 having some added oomph. >1) How do I get into this big pillow box to add >memory Look for two screws in the vicinity of the two tabs that stick out from the back (vertically oriented). Remove the screws and gently pull on the tabs. The motherboard assy. comes out this way. Each model has two RAM slots. The lonely slot is for L2 cache. If for some reason the 6500 has had it's L2 removed, transfer it from the 6400, or if it never had it, spend the $5 or $10 to find 256k of L2 cache. Pay attention to the release lever for the RAM stick (you push down to "eject" one end), and make sure when putting the RAM in the other Mac it's seated properly (the lever moves up). When putting it back together, be careful you've got it lined up correctly. That last slight push seats the mobo. The back must fit flush, just as it did before you began. It's pretty straightforward. >2) What memory sticks does this thing take Essentially the same 168 pin DIMMs as in the 6400, so... >4) What kind of slots does the 6500 machine >have Both the 6400/6500 have two standard PCI slots. -David -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
