Thomas - My G3 iMac suffers a similar problem which I've mentioned a couple of times but repeat for your edification :) - One 512 mb stick in either slot works fine. The other 512 mb stick in either slot works fine. With both of them in the computer won't boot UNTIL I press the button on the side which is marked with the triangle then the computer comes to life and the system reports 1 gig of memory (but there is no 'dong' when it comes to life). Someone else with this problem was going to try this trick but he has not reported back.
