I own the following computer:
Macintosh LC475
36mb of ram
4,5gb hard drive
4x Apple external scsi cd rom drive
Roland MT32 midi device (i thank you for the helpful answers in another topic)
Macally mouse
Macintosh Color Display M1212 Monitor
Logitech speakers with subwoofer
I use my computer mainly for retro gaming and i think it might be better (for my taste) than my Performa 6116 (but without the Sonnet G3 at 500 mhz installed). I say that because some old games are very slow on the Performa because they are made for motorola cpus. For instance Monkey Island 1-2, Fate of Atlantis floppy version, Gabriel Knight, King's Quest 7. Also most of Sierra On Line adventure games of this era have problem with the powerpc and all the time a system error comes on the screen. These problems do not happen on the LC475. Of course the Performa 6116 with the Sonnet G3 installed is an amazing machine, so fast and responsive, i really love it. But the essence of the subject is other:
Can you propose me some upgrades that i can do on my LC475? I'v read that it can take an 128mb memory stick but also that maybe there is delay in startup for memory test. Also on some Lucasarts games there is not the option for graphic smoothing. This option is on all my powerpc computers. Why is that? Do i need to put another video card to see that as an option? And of course i mean also other upgrades like a PPC card etc.
Thank you
