Re: Power Mac G3 Blue And White Upgrade info
Thanks everyone, I just found the RAM online, also I think I'm going to go with the Radeon 7000 PCI since I want to put the standard graphics card that came with my BW in my Starmax 4000/200. Also I'm just going to get a 80GB Western Digital drive (I don't need more than that) sometime soon.
