Any VGA monitor that's sync-on-green savvy should do. ~~~~~~~~~~~ > 4) I loaded the IIsi to the max with RAM (64megs). I then installed > RamDoubler (an old copy) and doubled the RAM to 128MB.

Add virtual memory to 1 MB more as Apple suggests. The freezing you're experiencing may go away. If not, run it with the top off, standing on it's side. Heat may be a factor because of the extra stress on the power supply from all that RAM. Be sure you have a good hard drive and install of the operating system you're using. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > I must say it was quite interesting to see this eary 90's machine show 128MB > for memory (even for a little while) and the OS only using up about 2-3 MB. > These days it seems you need at least 512MB just to run the OS properly. > > Thanks in advance! > > -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
