I have put the two 512Mb double-sided RAM chips into my Beige G3

Appropriate, since the beige G3 only supports a max of 256 MB per
DIMM slot and a max of 768 MB total.
Aside - You're talking about "sticks" of RAM -- DIMMs. The
individual ICs (integrated circuits) *on* the sticks are "chips".
And "Mb" stands for Megabit. Memory is measured in MB - Megabytes.
But hey, RAM over here in Australia, is fairly expensive. Each of
the 512 sticks cost me $ 95.00, whereas to buy 256Mb double-sided
RAM chips would end costing about $ 145.00 each.

Then use the upper left pop-up menu to select your Mac model.
Of course, there's always eBay. But I've discovered recently that
the wackos are out -- over over overbidding DIMMs...
As for you "overseas" folx... If the company's overseas shipping is
absurd, there's usually someone around willing to order for you then
reship... Paypal is a wonderful money transfer service.
