.....Upgrading G3 memory
I am trying to get my G3 to recognize two new sticks of 512. They are out of an identical machine and I have followed all the instructions but to no avail. Is there a secret to this thing that I have missed? I'm running 10.4 as is the machine they are coming out of. I'm feeling pretty damn stupid right about now:( Any suggestions at this point may just save my hair and/or my sobriety:) Thanks... tl head gainesville, fl. headbon...@hotmail.com --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: .....Upgrading G3 memory
What Color/version is your iMac G3? Some of them can handle 512 while others can only handle 256 Jeremiah Stevens From: thomas head headbon...@gmail.com To: imaclist@googlegroups.com Sent: Sun, November 8, 2009 11:00:38 AM Subject: .Upgrading G3 memory I am trying to get my G3 to recognize two new sticks of 512.

Re: .....Upgrading G3 memory
Thomas, Leave your hair alone, although enjoy your drink by all means...:-) Apparently these behemoths are not always capable of recognizing memory modules of 256Mhz and up, even if they are the right ones. Check their profile in LEM and related articles. Although, IIRC, the very first slot-load model could only be upgraded to 512Mhz, and the following models could be taken to a full gig. I might be wrong, though. Time to hit everymac.com!

Re: .....Upgrading G3 memory
Thomas - My 450 MHz slot loader DVD iMac G3 will recognize either of my two 512 mb memory modules in either slot but if both of them are put in (in any order) it won't boot until I press the button on the side with the little triangle on it - then it comes up fine and I can check that it shows 1 gb of ram memory. I'm running OS 8.6 - like to hear if anyone has a solution. Ernie thomas head wrote: I am trying to get my G3 to recognize two new sticks of 512.
