You need to buy an EXPANSION CARD, which contains extra memory. (read: expen$ive). Which brings me to another point: A new expansion card for the Classic. ComputerCare (phone # 1-800-950-CARE), will be shipping the "MacScratch", a memory expansion card for the Classic. Shipment begins Nov. 19. Here are the details: [details deleted] First, and just for the record, I wouldn't count on 'upgrade modules' until they're released &/or debugged! Vaporware should not be counted on. Secondly, and possibly more important, the original poster commented that his Classic already had 2 megs. The 2 meg classics already have the memory expansion board, and just need the additional ram installed. I don't know about the resistor (but I don't think there is anything needing to be CUT, there might be a jumper removed or something) but the card is already installed in a 2-meg Classic. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alan D.
