Sure, it's 64bits, right out to the pins on the CPU.
:P
>From there it splits into two 32bit busses. Could be
that was one of the Macs I dinked with at Wal-Mart
and saw how slow it was compared to the "snazzy" and
fast Packard Bell (Packaged Hell) sitting next to
it. Earlier than that, Wal-Mart had Macs like an LC-II
next to a 486/25 running Windows 3.1 with 16bit color.
Let's see, which would a newbie buy? A Mac that can
only
do 256 colors and is slow enough that the demo can
be seen "blitting" the graphics to the screen or the
PC showing a slideshow of TIFF images in brilliant
"thousands of colors" and switching them fast enough
that you can't see the screen redraw? (And the PC has
double the RAM, standard.)

Yup. Apple hurt their percived reputation with all
those
slower and limited models that were sold in places
like Wal-Mart next to the Packaged Hells which were
the pi$$-poor end of the PCs but certainly appeared
faster. :P

Wow, that's about one of the best uses I have heard of for a 62xx! Last
week, I (unfortunately) had to visit again with my current customer's
Performa 6214CD. He had complained of Netscape being "unbearably slow" on
it... I upgraded the RAM to 64MB and took him down to Netscape 3.0, but it
didn't help *that* much... I then tried to explain to him, as gently and
tactfully as I could, so as not to turn him off to Macs altogether, that the
62xx series were severely crippled in terms of, well, everything, and that
he shouldn't rely on it too much for web surfing. (He has a beige G3 that's
*his* computer; the Performa is his kid's; they also have an LCIII with
36MB, which actually seems faster than the Performa... go figure...)

I know this is way off topic now! Sorry!! :O

(And while we're off topic... This is from the LEM page about the Performa
6200... "32-bit memory" - what exactly does this refer to? Everymac.com says

Coming from the "Painted-Macs" Lady, I'd say it's NOT an addiction,
but a refurbishment of artist's supplies. ;^)

I had up to 52 Macs here in a small shed until I found a young Mac-Addict
to share them with. And I WAS down to 28. Just picked up 12 more. (hee hee).

Refurb what works. Part-out what doesn't. I'll be writing you for non-burned
CRT's, Analog Boards. you know, stuff like that.  ;^)

Then go to Ebay.

Jeff

Nope.  Spend it on a good bottle of applejack (hard cider), and drink a
toast to all the other vintage mac'ers, and to each of your new
computers.

I just remembered - I use an 8500 (just the case, no computer inside) as a
scanner stand. Works well. :)

Here's what you do: sell the furniture. Make new furniture out of computers.
Be happy.

Proves that not *all* addictions are bad. :) I agree with Kyle. Rehab is for
quitters.

Spend it on the Mac thing! Your rehab needs will be there in the morning :)
but the Mac thingie won't!

That's my vote :)

eBay.  Rehab is for quitters.  Welcome to my world.  I have a photo of almost
200 Mac's in my living room from the time I bought a pallet of Compact Macs.
