WTB: Beige G3 Desktop Ram and HD

[rickvanr]

Here's the deal, I'm getting a beige G3 with 256 RAM, I dont know if its two 128's, or one 128, 2 64's or what. So, I'm looking to buy 2 or 3 sticks of compatible ram for it preferable all 256, or a 128 and a couple 256's... so let me know

also, a compatible hd around or bigger than 20 GB would be super, let me know

PC66, or PC100 ram and HDs are what are supposed to work

Any PC100 DIMMs will work, provided they have the right density and latency, and are no larger than 256MB. Any ATA hard drive will work, but the 137GB limit does apply to this machine, you can get around it with a PCI ATA/133 card, such as Sonnet's Tempo and Tempo Trio (make sure the Tempo Trio has firmware version 4.5!!).

alot of things i didnt know, thanks Counterfit

my B&W at home has 4 sticks of ram, the one that came with it is taller then the rest.. would the shorter sticks fit in the beige desktop?

[crazzyeddie]

Yes the short ones are the ones that you're supposed to have for the beige, although the taller ones will fit, too.

if you want them, i have two 32mb (possibly 64mb i cant remember.) modules that your welcome to have. They were pulls from my B&W and i have no use for them.

pm me if you want them.

rhpenguin, noticing your sig... how'd you o/c your machine? got a link or two?

[rhpenguin]

yeah... www.xlr8yourmac.com

go to the g3 zone

[rickvanr]

did you have to add extra cooling or anything for that? and what did you o/c it from?

[rhpenguin]

350MHz.. Ive added small heatsinks on a few things.. nothing major.

Edit: i didnt touch the clock frequency, i just upped the fsb to get a little more throughput.
