Ram upgrades

[Togglehead]

I have the 300MHz Wallstreet.....what kind of RAM do i need?

Im assuming due to the 66MHz FSB, PC100 would be fine....but whats the difference in high/low profile ram?

 

[frankblundt]

is that this one?

Some solutions here - PC100 SO-DIMM

some macs are so tight for space they need thinner than normal RAM DIMMs to fit the space

sorry. looks like the same RAM tho.

looks like they think it will take high and low profile, i'd go low, just in case. (the price is the same)

If you got a PB G3 circa '98 [Wallstreet] then 2 slots for Ram the spec for the ram is PC100/144pin SO-DIMM .. 512MB Max total Ram (256MB per slot)

Apple's RAM guide for Powerbook G3s.

Their info on Communications, suggests it is indeed a PC Card/Card Bus slot (they talk about using it for a modem) so i guess you could get a wireless card in there..
