[rescue] Mike D.'s new Ultra 30...

[Ken Hansen]

Fill it w/32 Meg DIMMs - 12x 32 Meg DIMMs (plus the
initial 4x 64 Meg DIMMs) is *plenty of RAM fo rmost
users...

CPUs - an upgrade will more likely than not *bust*
your budget - the 300 MHz CPU is typically a $300 item
on eBay, but they don't seem to be selling, so the
price may be dropping... I can't speak for the price
of Bill's CPUs.

For an extra head, you would need an additional PIC or
"vertical" UPA framebuffer, the framebuffer I spoke of
earlier is a "horizontal" UPA framebuffer - for Ultra
1 & 2 only.

I was lucky, nad was able to get a very good price on
two framebuffers from "Big" Mike N. - ask him if he
has any more now (I did get the last Creator 2D he had
at the time)...

I hope you mentioned to Lily that I refered you...
