Arrived some days ago, a Power Macintosh 8100 high performance video card with fully maxed out whopping 4 megs of DRAM video memory. I installed it in the PDS slot of my 6100 Power Mac and everything is running fine. 830x640 px with millions of colours - finally.





Now i need to get my hands upon a Newer Tech or Sonnet Crescendo G3 upgrade card and a 21" Multiple Scan display in order to fully exploit the buried capabilities of my old Power Mac.

Makes me want to did out my old Amiga 3000 with Opelvision card from the basement and knob dick with it...

Now you're getting me all nostalgic. My parents' first computer was a Performa 6116CD and a good friend of mine kept his 6100 into high school, upgrading it to a G3. I ditched all of my old Mac stuff when my parents cleaned out my old bedroom, I had piles of beige G3s in various states of overclocking and G4 upgrades, a 5200, my old 7100, and more.

It was more fun computing a few years ago. I remember going to Akihabara and Machida in Japan to look for 68010 to get a 5-10% boost in speed on my Amiga 1000, or getting a slightly faster crystal oscillator to run my 7MHz CPU at 14MHz.
