Melanie,
Hi, my name is Ed. I'm a No Wonder volunteer and will try to answer your question. My email address is
To answer your question, you can obtain memory cards for the 5300 PBs from any of the various catalog or web dealers. Here are some I've done business with:
- MacZone
- Mac Connection
- MacMall
Be sure they will:
- provide detailed instructions for installation
- unconditional money-back guarantee
Now for some unsolicited advice: When you upgrade to OS 8.1 or, especially, OS 8.5 you will be MUCH happier with at least 32 MB of RAM, total. The Mac will run faster and you will have many fewer system crashes.
Good luck,
ed
