Power Macintosh 4400/200 Clean Reinstall
Max RAM is 160 MB (1x 32 MB and 2x 64 MB).
The 3400c has a max ram of 144 MB.
Peace,
Drew

160 MB was the same for my Motorola StarMax 4000. If that's the big deal then really it's not that bad a Mac. I would probably love it then, although as mentioned I'm sure it's not as easy to get into as my StarMax was.
For Mac OS 9.1, 160 MB was more than enough for the StarMax. I also had bypassed the internal video by using a 16 MB Voodoo3 2000 PCI card and that helped tremendously. It also ran Debian "Sarge" nicely albeit not as speedily as Mac OS 9.1.

Yeah, my mistake. I actually have had a bunch of surplus 4400's. The ram was expensive. 3.3 volt 168 pin dimms iirc. One plus of the 4400 is it used ide drives imho.The real problem with the 4400 was the expensive ram it used. Not to mention the 144 megabyte ram ceiling.
I can back that one up: my 4400 once gave me a rather nasty cut on the back of my hand. I'm very reluctant to work inside it again now....I think the only REAL complaint that I've seen was the sharpness of the case and how difficult it might be....
I guess I've cut myself so many times on some old PC cases that I've just gotten used to getting around those sharp sections. I guess this might be the reason I don't see this as a major drawback to the 4400, and I've had my share of REALLY good internals on other Macs. :-/I can back that one up: my 4400 once gave me a rather nasty cut on the back of my hand.
