Hi all; I've been following this thread because I own a Beige G3 266DT also, and will be maxing the ram in a month or so. The Beige G3 will not recognize single sided 256 Dimms as 256. They are seen as 128Mb. The Beige G3 needs double sided 256 Dimms and requires that they be low profile Dimms, 1.15" high,IIRC. There is a finger guard that can be removed to bypass the height restriction. IIRC,the Dimms should be non-parity with EEprom. Our resident G3 expert, PeterH, can expand further on this.HTH --Thanks; Rev. George --Maranatha (means the Lord cometh) -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
