After much talking and searching on another list. It was clear that only the Beige G3 machine has the first 8 gb limitation. Apple has a note about it on their website. The VST card needs the 1 or 2 PCI slot other wise it doesn't play well with other cards. If you can live with that go for it. OWC recently had Acard ATA 66 cards on sale pulls/ referbs cheap. A better deal IMHO though may not work with as many CDRW drives. The Acard,SIGII, Sonnet ATA 133 card are great but usually more money. Avoid the Sonnet ATA 100 card too many negative reports.(it's not made by Acard ) later Will S -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
