I'd done an overclock project on one of my Quadra 700's and was trying it out on the Internet. Wanting to buy enough RAM for it, having difficulties with an eBay seller, I've put it aside in favor of my Quadra 605.
It's attached to a Radius Color Pivot, runs at only 25Mhz., although either another motherboard or a chip-and-resistor change would get me to 33 or 40Mhz. This choice comes because I can more easily get 72 pin RAM. There's 20 in it now, and I'm looking to go 32 or 64Mb. Again, running the machine with the "About This Macintosh" dialog box open shows how much RAM the system needs to process the Internet, and how much RAM Netscape 4.08 wants to run rightly. Netscape defaults to 8MB in the "Get Info" Window. I raised it to 12MB and got pages to appear faster. I figure, if I set it at 32MB with a 64MB chip in place, and the newer, faster CPU, I ought to get some decent performance from a 10 year old Mac.
