Ram Doubler - Speed Doubler, Ram upgards

[Punkyclown]

Hi All, My Powerbook 1400c has 32 mgs of ram. Is it better to use Ram Doubler than Virtual memory
on the computer? Also is there an advantage to using Speed Doubler? Lastly what ram do I need
to upgrade to 64 mgs and where would I get that?
Appreciate all the input and thanks

Hello,

The PowerBook 1400c has unique PB 1400 RAM DIMM/card upgrade path:

"RAM: 12 MB or 16 MB soldered, expandable to 64 MB total by adding one or two memory modules (second module piggybacks on the first). There are some single card memory upgrades that cannot be piggybacked."

I doubt you will find a new one in stock, but you may be able to find a used stick at one of the online Mac parts stores like We Love Macs, or eBay. It;'s a very hard to find component.

From memory, both Connectix RAM Doubler and Speed Doubler did work, but were never a substitute for higher end hardware. I guess it would depend on what you are trying to run.
