BZZT! actually, I just looked it up. It's only 2MB ^_^ ;; (although it will use up to 18MB for hardware acceleration functions).

Wow, that is TRULY sad. FYI, i am going to try to get 256MB RAM for it.

Here's what I have thrown into it:

PNY PCI nVidia Vanta LT Pro 16MB VRAM w/ 3d acceloration.

Replaced the 20GB 5400RPM w/ 2MB Cache, with a 40GB 7200RPM w/ 8MB Cache.

Also, i am checking with a friend that has my old Power Macintosh G3 (beige) that I believe has a 256MB DIMM. Hopefully he can dig it out of his basement and get it for me :D

He will be over tomorrow with the case I need for the server I built, and he will have the RAM for this. So, wish me luck!!!

BTW, I am not going to buy any parts for this system. With a half-functional motherboard (one RAM slot, no AGP), it's not worth throwing a bigger CPU in it, or trying to get a better video card/bigger HDD. So this is the end of the line
