I prefer Quatra apples. Tad on the $$$ side though.

And the weaker of the two quatras still only has ONE expancion slot... rediculous..
bill
I don't know what they are thinking. I am running out of room and I have * (hahahahaha, shifted in the wrong place up there....) 8 slots. Actually I'm running out of interrupts. I can't keep the sound card in and the LAN card at the same time. Well, maybe, I just have to figure out what is really being used. And try to get all that to work at the same time under windows....
Spur
but a lot of those extras are built in to the quatra, when you think of it. people complain about the expansion abilities of macs, but who needs a clock card for em?
bill
You don't need a clock card in a 386. You just use up 2 of the 8 slots
in a 386. One is the video card and the other is the 2serial/1parallel,
1game/2floppy/2IDEharddrive card.
Spur
oh, shut up. i don't know anything, it's all just pseudo-knowledge.
Captain James T Kirk
Yup... And for an XT, you can get a clock chip, that goes under onme of your BIOS chips. So it dosen't use a slot. 286's and aboves have a clock on the CPU.

Spur
shut up.

Excuse me, but i think that Yawn belongs to me...thank you.
Lightning
Here... You can have it...
Roya
thank you...slept in til 12:00 today.
bill
Well, the clock isn't exactly IN the CPU....
Scorpion
Actually, the Quatra has 2 NuBus slots and one PDS slot. 6 VRAM slots, and 4 RAM slots. plus it has built in SCSI, Ethernet, appletalk plus the usual drive hookups. Oops, I forgot to mention the on board video driver. the only moniter you need a card for is to 2page dispalys.
Spur
What are newbus, pds, and VRAM?
bill
VRAM is dual-ported video RAM.
Captain James T Kirk
Really? Hmm, i read somewhere that the real time clock was in the cpu... And it's kept alive by the bat... But, i guess that dosen't really make sence... why have a real time clock in the cpu?
Captain James T Kirk
I know that part... Whatever...
Scorpion
NuBus is the Apple official name for the exspantion slots. PDS is processor direct slot and VRAM is video ram
bill
dAmN Straight!
bill
Hey!
Captain James T Kirk
OPkay, so NuBus is just the expancion slots... Vram is vram.. and PDS is just like the math co-prosessor socket..
