Ack, I'm back again! Already! I hope I haven't already worn out my welcome on this list.
I went back to the OWC item description for the memory I ordered and read a footnote at the bottom of the page that I had missed before: "Some PowerMac G3 Blue & White Models have a memory controller that is not compatible with this memory type. The percentage of systems affected is very small, but we do not have a way to pre-determine which are affected. "Should you purchase this 256MB module for your Blue & White PowerMac G3 and find that they do not work, please contact us for an RMA number. Upon the return of the module(s), either a full refund of the price you paid for each module will be provided via the same means the order was originally paid by or, and only at your request, the value could be applied to a new/different order. "IF this OWC100SD256324 256MB Module is not compatible with your Blue & White G3 Powermac, the only 256MB module we know of that will work is a 16x8 based 256MB, such as OWC100SD256168 which, unfortunately, is nearly double the cost." Okay, so maybe this is my problem, and my (more expensive, of course!) solution. But I am still curious. Can anyone tell me exactly what 16x8 (and 32x4) means? Thanks again, Joy --on my way to my folks' house to test this memory on their PC so I'll know how much to send back to OWC... -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
