I have just bought three 512 MB SDRAM from OWC for a 667 MHz G4. Each SDRAM has 8 chips on side and none of them will boot up the G4 DA. OWC has stated that they will honor the life time warranty and replace the SDRAM.
Does your advice abput using double sided low density SDRAM on a Quicjksilver also apply to the G4 DA? I am currently using 3 SDRAM which are double-sided with 8 chips on each side. Memory is configured as follows: DIMM0/j21 256 MB SDRAM PC-133-333 OK DIMM1/j22 512 MB SDRAM PC-133-333 OK DIMM2/j23 512 MB SDRAM PC-133-333 OK DIMM3/j24 empty empty empty empty Mel Total SDRAM is 1.25 GB. Note: I can't find the fourth slot on the G4 DA and prresume that the G4 DA only has three slots for memory.. --- On Tue, 9/2/08, dc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: dc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: question about memory for my G4 To: "G3-5 List" <g3-5-list@googlegroups.com> Date: Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 12:36 PM You can add up to 1.5 GB RAM (3 sticks of 512 MB) PC133. It has to be true low density RAM, recognizable by having 16 chips per stick, 8 on the front and 8 on the back. OWC sells them new for around $35 or you could check the LEM swap list. If you got two more 256 MB that would bring your total up to 768 MB, which is pretty good for running Panther or Tiger. PC 133 low-density 256 MB are as cheap as $15 for used pulls.
