Mac Tracker says, and OWC confirms that the iMac can use max 1gb dimm in each
slot for total of 2gb. The powermac has 8 slots, have to mount in pairs in
both. Powermac can use use 2gb dimms.
Might it be JEDEC incompatible? and not really running at true pc3200 spec.

I gather your car did not get the "upgrade" to the remote 30 amp

That might help for the 11 circuit. In essence, a #10 wire from one

Perhaps. Another approach would be to ask what would it take to make the
car "100 percent", leaving out the showroom perfect part. As a potential
buyer I need to know how much I can expect to pay in repairs if I am
intending to restore the car to a semblance of showroom condition.

As a seller, such a request would telegraph "time-wasting, unreasonable buyer"
to me.
If you want a showroom perfect car, buy a new one from the showroom.
