Gee, I can put in a couple of graphics cards in my Mac, and
that option is expanding.  Sound card?  Why?  It's a nice standard
on the motherboard.  I've watched a friend with a PC try to get some
of his games to work right with his Soundblaster card...it was a 
hoot listening to him swear at it.  And he'd still get games where
the sound didn't work right.  And as for putting in all the memory
I want...I can go to 1GB of memory on my old PM7500.  The Macs have
almost always been good on the memory expansion thing.

As for modifying the hardware, what would you modify?  The only
thing I ever noticed people modifying was the processor and you
can do that on a lot of Macs.  What else would you do?
