Coolrays, and anyone else, Do you know where I might buy 8MB and 16MB 30 pin SIMMs for a Mac IIci? I have been sekeing these for over six months but without success. I would like to bump my 32MB Iici to maybe 48MB or 64MB and up to 128MB to see how the performance changes and after those tests, use th eminimum RAM to get done what I want done. I suppose that the more RAM, the higher the heat and that is why I would want to use the 'coolest' configuration that meets my needs.
Mention has been made of a "Supermac Nubus video card that allows the IIci to drive large monitors with 24-bit color. Mention was also made of a Daystar 50MHz accelerator. Has anyone made any made bench mark before and after comparisons regarding the accelerator or how well the Nubus video card works with a larger monitor? If so, perhaps that would be of interest. Incidentally, I buy my used Mac items (including cCPUs) form the L.E.M. Swap list.
