Power Mac G3 Blue And White Upgrade info

2009-03-04 Thread Stephen Weber
Hello everyone, I finally got a replacement motherboard for my G3 Blue and White (Rev1). I need to know so some stuff about doing some upgrades to it: What is the Max Hard Drive Size I can put in it? What is the best video card I can get for it? What is the Max amount of RAM I can put in it?

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.
