Use EDO RAM as the manual states. FPM will work but EDO is preferred, since the 16 MB RAM soldered to the logic board is EDO. Don't base your purchase on price alone but go with a QUALITY vendor. I suggest Crucial. There have been a lot of complaints posted to this board regarding cut-rate RAM from OWC, Velocity, etc., so I stay away from them. However, YMMV. >BTW, is it common for the CD ROM drive to not work when installing OS 8.5 on >this system? Its a pain in the neck, no matter what extension I disable it >still wont work.

If you have the original CD-ROM drive, then you need a third party driver from FWB CD Toolkit or possibly Intech's will work. If you've replace the original CD-ROM drive with one that has Apple EPROMs, then Apple's driver should work. Dennis -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
