I've got a PowerWave 604/132. Since I bought it in '96, I've added a 4MB
hard drive, switched to an external CD (24X) drive, boosted RAM to 64MB,
added a two-port USB card (to gain access to DSL service), and upgraded
to OS 8.6.
Can I upgrade the OS to 9.X?
Or do I need to upgrade the CPU to a faster one?
Or, if I don't upgrade the CPU, would I gain significantly improved
performance in going to OS 9.X?
Would I gain much by boosting my VRAM from 2meg to 4meg?
And would I gain by boosting my RAM to 128MB or 256MB?
Also on a minor point. I've never been able to rebuild the desktop
during the eight years I've used it (yes, I do hold down the Command and
Option keys when rebooting). That's never posed a problem I'm aware of
(at least my desktop has never appeared corrupted) but I'd like to
rebuild it periodically just to to keep things clean. Any advice?
The answers to these have long since disappeared from MacWorld, so
I'd appreciate comments from anyone with experience doing the same.
Alternatively, of course, I could just buy a new Mac with OS X, but I'd
prefer not to do that for the moment.
