how much ram is enough for 8.6 on a 3400

IMHO, you won't need to completely max out the ram to get dramatic improvements even in 8.6 (unless you are doing something really intensive.) our 3400/180 runs on 48 and it handles word processing apps and online tasks pretty well. Our 3400/200 has 80, I do image processing, webdesign and go

I was just reading a page about the 2400 when I noticed that a suggested replacement for the hard to find 2400 power adapter is the yo yo shaped 45w ibook adapter. I checked this item out at the apple store online, and noted that it says it is also for older g3 powerbooks. This adapter features

Re: DVD for 1400?

I think I can safely say that no, the PB 1400 has no DVD capabilities- much to my own dismay. DVD-roms require recognition boards that allow you to use them,a nd I don't think that the PB 1400 can be upgraded to accomodate one feasibly. Brian In a message dated 8/25/2003 4:38:55 PM Eastern

Re: iCab browser

Hi, On my still-being tested 3400 (thx for your patience), I did a clean 8.1 install, and the 2.9.5 version worked fine. Then some extensions were moved around (without my permission) and it crashed. But, 2.9.2 still works. If anybody knows what the difference is in requirements, please respond.

Re: how much ram is enough for 8.6 on a 3400

I conquer with the person below. 48 MB RAM is plenty for basic use in 8.6. However, maxing the 3400 in RAM is only $80 or so at OWC. So if you can afford it, go for it. If not, I was still able to do tons to work w/ 48 ram when I had my 3400. Good luck, and let us know what you ended up with!
