The good news is ram is much cheaper than it used to be. I have bought Ram from ebay, owc (http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Page.cfm?Parent=22&Title=DIMMS%20%28EDO%2 0too%29&Template=) and Chip Merchant (http://www.thechipmerchant.com) for several macs. The only one I ever got that didnt work was from an eBay auction- it made my computer crash- but the seller replaced it with a good one. I would recommend OWC for price and reliability- just $22 (+ship) currently for 64 mb. Just look for one for a PowerMac 4400, usually easier- make sure it's a 3.3v not 5 volt. If you dont want to buy two 64 mb chips, buy one. I wouldnt mess with anything smaller at current prices, which your friend may pull later to upgrade to the max (unless you want to get a 64 and another small one because it's priced really cheap). The 32 mb chips are not much cheaper than the 64 at owc now. I recommend you should have at least 96 mb total these days- but since it's only another $22 for the max 160 that's what I'ld do ( thats what I did). NickUtah
