Re: So how much memory does it take?
snip== Oops, sorry, I meant the older one, meaning the 1.83 ghz machine.

How can that be? --Bill Apple only lists what is available at time of manufacture/design.

And sometimes in the event of multiple configurations of the same machine, ie the eMac, some were able to take only 1 gig, others 2 gig, in order to avoid confusion, Apple continued to list max memory at only 1 gig even though a few models could take 2 gig. I have 2 gig installed in my 1.42 GHz eMac and 2 gig installed in 3 different eMacs at my place of work. 1 is a 1.42 like mine and 2 are 1.25 GHz models. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

It occasionally happens, not always. Apple designs its machine with RAM that is available at the time. In a year or so, the RAM manufacturers improve their technology, and they sell higher capacity RAM. The newer RAM is usually, not always, backward compatible into Apple's original design. I cannot address the technical details of how this happens. So I would depend on Crucial and OWC to give accurate, up to date info. After all, they have money back policies.

So how much memory does it take?
Hi there: I'm getting conflicting information about how far I can expand the RAM in the earlier of the two machines listed below. Some sources say 2G, some say 3G, some say 4G. LEM says both 3 and 4 on different pages. Who's right?
