| 358513 | 2005-05-27 10:30:00 | My mobo has 4 slots, so one would think I could jam 4X1Gb sticks to give me 4Gb on board. But the mobo will only take 6 sides of ram, so unless I can find single sided 1Gb sticks the most I will be able to run is 3Gb. With the new OS comming out next year and running 64bit how, if I wanted to, would I go about installing 16Gb or more ram? |

| 358515 | 2005-05-27 10:59:00 | and while we're at it would increasing the ram on the mac make a difference, it's quite a handy machine for the kids to use, but painfully slow online we're on bitstream but it crawls as if it's on dialup cheers how are you connecting the mac to the router the network card may be to slow or it may just be to old |

| 358516 | 2005-05-27 11:27:00 | Wow a reply to my little old Mac diversion thanks Sam :thumbs: It connects network card ---> hub -----> router ---> wild blue yonder don't know how to check the speed of network card ( not up on Macs ) --it was pretty hard to get a network card for it in the first place (the mac cost $5), and the cheapest I could find a nic was $50, finally got one from a friend for $4 I have a feeling its possibly the small amount of ram, i'm running iCab browser which is marginally slower than the old netscape 3 or 4, but it works with 90% of the sites none of the old edo ram I have works in it either, night be different type of EDO who knows Cheers |

| 358517 | 2005-05-27 12:46:00 | I think I will upgrade my graphics card. I have 9500 se ati radeon.What would be the upgrade version of that? I don't want a graphics card too expensive or too cheap. I just want something that will play high end games which will help with the 1gb ram I have I have agp 8x but don't have any pci express slots |

| 358518 | 2005-05-27 14:24:00 | I have 20Mb of ram on my lc 575 mac, and as they say its not the size that matters it's what you do with it, (I use it as a paper weight) Hmmmm, I feel quite inadaquete(spellingk), just as well the work machine has 500Mb, would doubling the ram (on the work machine) make a noticeable difference it has an nforce mobo asus a7n8X something xp2500+ and while we're at it would increasing the ram on the mac make a difference, it's quite a handy machine for the kids to use, but painfully slow online we're on bitstream but it crawls as if it's on dialup cheers lc575 info (www.lowendmac.com) That is a very old mac - I'd just throw it in the trash where I work... |

| 358519 | 2005-05-28 03:20:00 | Throw out a working computer!!! I remember when my old 386SX with mono screen and 40Mb harddrive got tossed about 4yrs ago I was most out out (probably the best thing for it though) but seriously it works, and is quite easy for the kids to use (there is also a PC they use), just need to get more ram and software for it Is therea way to tell what speed ram is (the old edo ram) and if it's doble banked or single banked cheers |
