I dont know if this helps. It's from lowendmac.com. *...some tray-loading iMacs think they have 32 MB memory modules installed when running Mac OS 9, but when booted into any version of OS X, the recognize them for what they are: 64 MB modules. So any time he sees a Rev. A-D iMac reporting 32 MB modules, he boots into OS X to see if they're real 32 MB cards or misreported 64 MB ones.* *...the successful 512 MB modules were "CL2" memory; when he tried with "CL3" RAM, it didn't work. He says, "Being marked as PC-100 vs PC-133, or 222, 322, or 333 was no issue. CL2 or CL3 was."* *...it may be due to memory issues, such as the 256 MB CL3 module that every iMac sees as having only 128 MB. But if the memory is marked CL2, it will work. * The full article is about taking g3 imacs into the tiger age... something I'm attempting tonight! http://lowendmac.com/macdan/md07/1207.html -- Kevin Hornby falling in love again with "Florence" a Flower Power imac g3 (early 2001) 600MHz 1GB sdram 40GB hd os x 10.3.9... & now wireless! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
