- I have 8megs in my ci. Tell me what to do with the extra 4? How many SIMM
- sockets on the Quadra 700? 4megs is not enough. I can barely manage on 8.
- You keep saying 24bit. That is not what they keep telling me here. For
- example, will you get 24bit graphics on the 16" monitor with no extra
- VRAM?
-
- The VideoSpigot only captures composite input. It doesn't capture audio, nor
- does it output NTSC according to the latest MacWorld( you need another addon).
- Moreover I gather there's a VideoSpigot Pro which list for $1400 or so.
-
- Anyway, my point is 4megs is hardly enough. You probably need to replace them
- with 4meg SIMM's. You still need VRAM to get 24bit graphics on the 16"
- monitor. I still lose out with the 8megs in my ci, etc...I hardly see this
- upgrade as being cost effective.
