I have installed a 512 MB from crucial in a 350 MHz iMac, and it works fine (at least under OS 9; didn't manage to install X yet :-( The recommendation is to buy from a vendor that certifies the mamory for that particluar model you are looking for and make sure they have a return policy. If it doesn't work, just return it (never happened to me, though). cheers, gianfranco -- Telefonieren Sie schon oder sparen Sie noch?
