maclover5 LC Doctor/Hot Rodder Australia 5830 Posts	Posted - 10 Jun 2003 : 20:01:09 Nah, it can only take an extra 32 megs of RAM. According to LEM, it just doesn't like anything higher.

~tl Junior Member United Kingdom 312 Posts	Posted - 11 Jun 2003 : 07:21:09 right .... 32 megs more it is ... that should boost performance a wee bit ... and 32 meg simms are a bit cheaper than 64meg ones too ... Orcadian MLA Division 68ks Liberated: 2
~tl Junior Member United Kingdom 312 Posts	Posted - 11 Jun 2003 : 07:23:31 oh ... and does anyone in the UK have a 68882 FPU they would sell me ... or give me if you are kind Orcadian MLA Division 68ks Liberated: 2
Bugsi Starting Member USA 38 Posts	Posted - 30 Jun 2003 : 18:24:23 If you swap out your Mobo with an LC475/Quadra 605 Mobo, you can use a 128 meg RAM stick and more VRAM too. Plus you'll be running an `040, so you can run OS 8.1. Just a thought, if you really like the form factor of the LCIII. (I do! -My LCIII now sports a Q605 motherboard with 136 megs of RAM. Your farallon Ethernet card will work in the Q605/LC475 motherboard too. Give it a thought. LC475 mobo's are usually pretty cheap on eBay. Oh, and take a tip from Dana and consider flipping the fan upside down. Seems to move more air over the CPU that way. SE, Classic II, SE/30, IIcx, IIci, IIx, IIfx, LCIII => Q605 (the mega-upgrade) PB190cs, Duo2300c PM6100, PM8100, PM8500, Beige G3, 17" G4 iMac
~tl Junior Member United Kingdom 312 Posts	Posted - 01 Jul 2003 : 03:30:51 i would like to get hold of a 605 .. i love the design ... it alot nicer than the III/475 ... with feets ... but its really hard to find them in the UK ... so if anone has one i can buy ... 475s are quite common ... but if i was going to get either i would get a 605 ... just for the case ...

maclover5 LC Doctor/Hot Rodder Australia 5830 Posts	Posted - 03 Jul 2003 : 17:54:21 I agree with you, ~tl. The 605 case is much cooler than the Pizzabox LC case. On top of that, it sort of looks like it could take a full height SCSI drive, which is cool. If you try and put a fat drive into a pizzabox, well....you can't, unless you want to just sit the lid on top of the machine, or move the machine into a different case.

~tl Junior Member United Kingdom 312 Posts	Posted - 04 Jul 2003 : 02:27:05 another good thing about the 605 is that it has a flat top ... so unlike the LCs you can set pens on top of it and they dont roll off Orcadian MLA Division 68ks Liberated: 2
maclover5 LC Doctor/Hot Rodder Australia 5830 Posts	Posted - 04 Jul 2003 : 06:22:35 Ever tried putting the pens parallel with the lines that go down the top of the LC?
