I would like to know if I can install an additional internal hard drive and if so what type (EIDE?, scsi68pin?). I am located in Holland and would also like to hear of good suppliers in Europe. Also is it possible to add more VRAM to this machine and if so what type? Are there any other ways of upgrading apart from CPU and more memory? My first time on the list so excuse the flurry of questions!>>
I have two internal HDs in my Power Center 150, 6gb and 2gb, both 50-pin SCSI, which is what you'll have to use unless you have an adaptor. I have a CD-R in the front slot where the second HD would go, so the second HD is somewhere towards the rear(forget where just now, not able to look at the moment...so I think it's a thinner HD). As for VRAM, the Power Center pdf service manual says: <<All DIMMs must be 112-pin, fast-paged mode, 70-nanosecond access time or faster. The PowerCenter has three VRAM DIMM slots near the front on the motherboard. If one VRAM DIMMs is to be installed, it must be installed in the slot closest to the front of the logic board. This gives a total of two megabytes of VRAM. Adding two VRAM DIMMs, providing three megabytes of VRAM, is not a supported configuration. Adding three VRAM DIMMs to give a total of four megabytes of VRAM is the next valid, supported configuration.>> I put a 603e/240 card in mine to replace the original 604/150...not much of a boost, as far as I can tell(thought I was buying a 604/240); it lowers my bus speed from 50 to 40mHz.
