Now tell me, a 25 MHz 030 on 128 Meg, or a 33 MHz 040
on 56 Meg, what's supposed to give you a better user
experiance?
Ok, if you use a bloated thing like unix, then maybe
Memory is more important, cause it's already slow :)
For a Mac, Made to work quite fine with 8-12 MB, 56
is basicly unfillable.
Serious, if you had said a Quadra 950, with 256 MB RAM,
I'd had to give in, but below that, nothing beats the
630/640 DOS. It has a huge RAM size and soppurts standard
PS2 RAM (cheap), has an extended LC slot, so supporting
Regular LC Cards and extended ones. Not to mention the
additional communication slot for Networking cards and
the video slot.
Ok, it's not a 'general' slotsystem, but then again
who cares? If I can plug in whatever needed it's all
I need. I'm not that exalted to require my cards to
be pluged in in alphabetic order :)

Nice, but wouldn't it be more interesting to get the
best possible base (like a Q950) before starting the
fine tuneing? If the engine is already weak, big tires
don't realy change the experiance.
