Oh dear. Only one of the two DIMMs I bought seems to work. One of them, if inserted causes the iMac to do absolutely nothing. No bong or chime sound. The working one, bearing in mind that I'm running OS9.1 shows as 128M. Oh dear. On Apr 18, 12:03 am, warhelmet nova.akrop...@googlemail.com wrote:

Hmm, I had the same problem. I was going to get 2x 512mb to make 1gb, but then couldnt find good ram, so I put an old 256mb with a working 512mb stick from an old computer to make 768mb. I think compatible 512mb sticks with the G3 are hard to get =D. On 4/17/09, Bruce Johnson

I think I might have got some. Advertised as G3 iMac compatible. Paid £32 UK. Now just need to get rid of the non-compatible RAM on eBay. Although happy to donate to a worthy cause. On Apr 17, 5:57 pm, Fabian Fang f...@mac.com wrote: On Apr 16, 2009, at 8:09 PM, Po-en Tsai wrote: I think
