According to TIL (and my memory), the blue g3 takes DIMMs with
between four and sixteen devices (chips), with none having a density
higher than 128Mb. This is why the max RAM for a Blue G3 is 1gig,
not 2gig - 512MB DIMMs would need 16x256Mb. Anyway, if the RAM in
your 256MB has only eight devices/chips, it might be the same problem.
