The G4 with PCI video **YIKES** is really just a Blue&White G3 with upgraded
case and processor.
It should see the 512 chips as 256MB (the most it can see per slot) but you
never know with some of these generics as I have heard another report of a
Beige G3 not liking generic 256MB PC133 chips on this list.
The New iMacs and AGP G4's can both see 512 per slot so that's why its
working in them.
Good Luck
