Check my sig. Don't use it for much. If I have a friend over, we can play network games though. I also use it for the occasional backup over the network too.

Man, that sucks for you !

What happened to your built-in 128MB ?
Where the heck did you get 640 B RAM from ?

Are you running all your apps in the video RAM ?

This is sort of cheating, 'cause the Mac is (obviously) not mine, but it's the only one I've had the pleasure of using on a semi-regular basis (ie. once in a while).

iBook 400 (I think), 12" (from 2001 or so I think)
18.6 GB hard drive (well, that's what it says... probably 20 GB?)
256 MB RAM
Runs 10.3, not super-fast, but usable (for her needs)

I don't know about video memory or anything like that... I think everything in it is completely stock...

I have upgraded the RAM in my machine many times. I added a 128 MB stick (192 MB total) from Futureshop, then swapped out the 64 for a 256 MB (384 MB total) which I think was from Futureshop again. Finally, I purchased dual 512 MB sticks for my current 1 GB from Wildred Laurier University's bookstore. Each stick was $100 CAD. It's just regular PC133 SDRAM.
I had a 350mhz G3 that I was using for my MAIN computer until last Feb.

I feel your pain.

PBook 12" one year old...only, but it feels so old when I see the new DP G5's coming out...
Apple II/SE
PPC 6100 @ 60 MHz (1995), OS 7/8 multiboot, 24 MB RAM, HPV videocard with 2 MB VRAM, 3 (THREE!!) internal SCSI disks with a total amount of 21 GB storage capacity, data volume running @ 10.000 rpm, ............................................... planning to get a Sonnet processor upgrade with 240 MHz G3. whole rig is running as a file/backup server for my Tibook (667 MHz, DVI, 2002)
I have a Power Mac dual 450.

128 built-in, then I got a 512 chip from transintl.com = 640MB

Yeah, MB !!!, now we're talking

TiPB 400 and Cube 450. Both with good HDs (5,400s in Ti and 7,200 in cube) good enough memory (384MB and 740MB respectively). They are not speed demons but very very reliable (the Ti is being up now for 61 days).
Until a few months ago my main machine was a G4/400 MZ, with 756 Mb of RAM.. But -- I finally got a processor upgrade (933 mz) which makes it pretty snappy, especially in comparison! My secondary is an original 12-in PB.

I have a performa 6360 laying around and I'm wondering what to do with it...
