I just installed some high density memory yesterday; the computer
recognizes it as 128 MB RAM instead of the 256 MB that it really is. DMS is
shipping the replacement memory out today. (I'd not ordered high-density
nor specified any particular kind of density; I'd just told them what kind
of computer I had. I suppose the original saleman hadn't paid enough
attention or didn't know what the G4 B&W takes.) Anyway, the tech guy said
that none of the G3's will take the high density stuff.

There exists super-high density DIMMs for the pre-G3 Macs, and these
incorporate a special converter chip to make the mobo believe the RAM is low
density.
DIMMs with the lower density RAM are still available, but cost a bit more.
The super-high density DIMMs are known to work on 7300s, 9500s and 9600s, and
similar machines, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that these won't work on my
ANS 700/200, which is a 9500-based machine.
So far, I have not heard of 3.3 volt RAM which incorporates this special
converter logic.
