One simm, plus 4 soldered on would mean 68, 36, etc. Two simms plus 4 soldered on would be 68, 52 etc... > my experience with the upgrade i was borderline with 36MB RAM but I > think you be ok (for upgrade at least) with 54.

Works fine in my (single simm slot) 630 -- total is now 68 -- but each simm only registers as 32 MB in my Q 650. I guess that's why apple says avoid composite modules.

As far as hardware support for the Q630 goes, 2.6.18-4 or later should be OK. My patches went into debian kernels well before they went into mainline kernels. -f -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
