It does take DDR RAM, but just with any other machine, you'll have to make sure you install the right type. Here's what OWC offers: http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=199&type=Memory&TI=1150&shoupgrds=Show+Upgrades > 2: Is the eMac painted the same way as a G3 iBook (500+mhz) or is the whole > case white? The whole case is white. > 3: will a non-Apple branded DVD drive be able to be used to boot a Leopard > disk? I've got a Pioneer-branded drive that I installed myself in the eMac currently. I've installed operating systems and burnt DVDs—even though it's not the default drive, it works like a charm. > And finally: > How do I eject the cd tray through OSx without a keyboard? I don’t have a Mac > keyboard yet and so I don’t have the eject key. Hold down the left-click button (or just the button) on your mouse and the CD will eject. I hope this helps.
