- You'll want to raise it from 8MB to 16MB of memory to get decent performance.
- The 125MB hard disk is small; consider replacing it with a 400MB SCSI or ESDI
- hard drive. (SCSI is better; you'll also want an SCSI interface.)
-
- The performance of your 486/33MHZ will be roughly equal to a 25MHZ color
- system. Not very exciting.
-
- Don't buy anything until NeXTSTEP 486 is out, because the required hardware
- config might change. And don't forget to add in $1000 -> $2500 to puchase
- NeXTSTEP 486.
-
- All in all, you are better of selling that machine RIGHT NOW.
