Hello Thx for both of u the quicky reply, and it was nice to meet u over by mail.
After read ur mail, I still have some questions. Could u give me some example of the what is 128 mb dimms? Would it be the same thinks like PC ram memory as well? and I found some think like these in www.macsales.com that u show me 128MB 168 Pin Mac 5V DIMM 60NS 4K FPM non-EDO (2K Per Bank) and 128MB 168 Pin Mac 5V DIMM 60NS 4K EDO (2K per bank), is it the right item that I am looking at? How should I choose it over the internet? do i have to just buy 1 ( 128 mb ) and + my already have 64 mb should be enough? very confusing. And for the CPU upgrade is this 2 card ok? XLR8 350 MHz MACh Carrier G4 CPU Upgrade XLR8 300 MHz MACh Speed G3 CPU Upgrade would i fit to my J700? do I need any special adapter or software update? And can I get something better the twinturbo video card for J700? Any good suggestion canadian site that I can purchase over internet? Right now I am running OS 8.6 Thx in advance and have a good day!
