Even MacImports has trouble getting the 96MB DIMMs now. They are no 
longer made. Folks with access to the Japanese market can sometime 
come across them, but I've never seen one cheaper, except from a 
private buyer.  The standard answer to this and the G3 upgrade is 
that it's usually easier to find a machine with the memory and/or G3 
installed than it is to find them separately. There are a few Newer 
G3s floating around on eBay and here, but they tend to run hotter 
than the Interware/Vimage G3 and at this point probably sell for 
close to the same thing.

Yup, you might search the list and mac2400 has a link to a couple of 
other sites that address this on the News page.

Don't run it on an external monitor with the lid down. Keep the 
bottom open....basically don't let it overheat.  Since you have the 
Yu-Plan keyboard its probably been upgraded to 80MB. If not. that 
should be your first upgrade. A bigger/faster harddrive also improves 
performance significantly over stock. The memory upgrade is easy. The 
HD is a bit more tedious and risky...but doable with care.

Cheers, enjoy and try to score a second battery.
