The PowerMac 6100, which some people think may be the best model Apple ever built, is a computer that refuses to accept retirement gracefully. Nearly seven years after they debuted, vast numbers of the tough, dependable 6100s are still in daily use. Thanks to processor upgrades, the old 6100 can be upgraded to G3 or even G4 power.

NewerRAM reports that inquiries into the 128Mb SIMMs for the Power Mac 6100 series have risen noticeably in recent months. Two of these 128Mb SIMMs are required to upgrade a 6100 series system to 264Mb of RAM.

"I've talked to customers about the 6100 series upgrade," said Kay Vogt, NewerRAM senior account manager, "and apparently, the common notion among Power Mac users is that the 6100 was not designed to accommodate 128Mb SIMMs. This just isn't the case. Our memory modules work wonderfully."

By upgrading the memory to 264MB from, for example, 136Mb, system performance is greatly enhanced in these already powerful Power Mac computers. More applications can be run simultaneously, and larger files can be manipulated with ease by graphic-intensive programs.

"As a memory company focusing on the high-end creative markets, we often encounter users seeking to significantly boost their systems' memory capacity," Vogt continued. "So, at NewerRAM, we're always exploring ways to meet customers' memory upgrade needs. Sometimes, in fact, NewerRAM can even provide an upgrade path that wasn't considered plausible when the customers originally bought their systems. We love to give our customers pleasant surprises."

The PowerMac 6100 upgrade is achieved with two 128Mb SIMMs (part # MM128M/32B-60S). The estimated retail price for one MM128M/32B-60S is $399. NewerRAM is currently accepting orders for this module and is prepared to ship immediately.

Like all NewerRAM memory products, the MM128M/32B-60S is built to Apple specifications and features a lifetime warranty.
