I have recently accquierd two Centris 610's. I am new to Macs and wish to upgrade one of them and save the other one for spare parts as needed.
1) How much RAM can a 610 handle, is 68MB correct as the book says? 2x32+4 on board? What is a good name brand that has been a proven work horse. I understand that composite SIMMS I should stay away from? 2) Is it better to upgrade to a seperate video card for graphics or just get more VRAM, I assume that is what the other two slots are for to bring it up to 1 meg. What would be a good choice for the 610 considering it's restrictions? 3) At present is has a LC040 processor, would it be worth it to upgrade to a straight 040? 4) Is upgrading the clock crystal worth the improvement in speed? 5) Is there a way to increse the cache RAM? 6) I am on 7.1. What is the highest level OS that this system can handle? I am a novice with Macs but very knowledgable with PCs so it is OK for the response to be in technical terms.
