I have an old 233MHz beige G3 desktop I workin with at a hobby.
last week I installed a trio of 128Mb SIMMs I bought through LEM Swap. I
exchanged the old memory for the new one following the Apple instructions per
the manual (and after checking through the net) and restarted the computer.

Put the old memory back in and see if that fixes the problem. Also are you

P.S. More specifically PC66 168pin SDRAM memory. Although most machines I

Ooooh, a Beige G3/233 Desktop! I had one of those! OK, down to business.
Here's what I'd do if I still had my Beige and was in your position:

advice you have in this thr
