I have two Bondi Blue Rev A and both have 512 memory but only one has recognized the extra 256. The one with 512 recognized is running OSX 10.2 and the other with just 256 is OS 9.2. The OSX is much slower because it takes up so much room in the small HD. I would upgrade it but its just looking cute on my desk next to the other one that I use with OS9.2 online most of the time. I did read the advice about possible shorting out of the pins and will try to reinstall the memory again w/tape. ED
