I need advice on upgrading RAM in a beige 266 MHz Power Macintosh G3. I understand that the bus speed is 66 MHz, and am wondering if I must then use 66 MHz memory. I have tried 100 MHz memory with mixed success. I've tried different combinations, and I know some of the modules work, but I've had some inconsistencies. I've had the screen remain black abnormally long after pressing the power button, and I think I've had the computer issue either a second startup chime or a very late one. I guess my question is this: Is it wise and safe to use 100 MHz memory in this machine, even if it is intended to use 66 MHz RAM? I think it has been done, but there seem to be varying opinions online as to whether it is the thing to do.
