[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 140329, member: 5184"] I had a 7600 to play around a bit. You can put 1GB in it, though finding the right RAM for it will be quite difficult. It is possible to upgrade it from 9.1 to 9.2.2 (the last OS9 version) on it. To do that, you need this: [url]http://www.os9forever.com/os92x.html[/url] The updates to 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 can be downloaded for free at Apple's support site. You can upgrade the CPU to a G3, or even a G4, and with using the Xpostfacto-hack install OS X. eBay would be the best place to find RAM and CPU boards... Now for adding a network and IDE-controller card, as Aptmunich said, there might be problems to find the right drivers...
