HEY..! :-)
how're things..??
uhh, the 770Z took two 256meg parts for a total of 512meg..
i have a 570 here that i stuck ONE 256meg part in..
it seemd to degrade the performance of pinball under winME..
the machine is an NT preload machine.. did not see and discernable difference
between the native 64meg memory or the resulting 320meg..
largest HDD is the currently hard to find 30gig..
next will be the 32gig..
joe sold out..!
