I have checked Mactracker the summer 2001 Snowmac would accept up to 1GB RAM. One could try borrowing 1 stick of 1GB or 512 Ram and see if that works. Someone may have changed some setting in the bus system also. On Tue, Dec 30, 2008 at 8:01 AM, dect...@earthlink.net wrote: Mike, what's

I think that larger is better in the long run. That way you do'nt have to buy another one in two years. However I have like 4 2GB Flash dirves (Sandisk). I'll sell for 1 for $7.00 plus $4.00 shipping if anyone is interested On Tue, Dec 30, 2008 at 10:25 PM, ./aal aalh...@gmail.com wrote: On

I thought that the top limit on RAM had to be spread among the slots, that if the mac would read/recognize a 1Gig in one slot, then it would read it in the other slots too, allowing for 'low profile' requirement. The max would be reached when all slots had the largest recognizable module in each

I removed a dead drive from an eMac and it's thinner than most- width and length standard for 3.5 but depth thickness is not. Will a normal-thickness 3.5 inch drive fit back into that space where the hard drive sits, and even if a thicker/normal 3.5 inch ATA/IDE drive technically fits-
