Why? Blue and White memory ain't any different than the G4 memory.
It is Revision one / A that makes a hell of a lit of difference ..
And on xlr8yourmac you'll find about the dirty IDE/ATA chip.
I saw a BW at my dealer's, with ... hd corruption ...

One or two corrupted Rev 1/A B&W does not condemn the whole line of
them. I have a number of B&Ws here which were *not dependable* for
users (both revs) and they replaced them with eMacs, etc. as a
result. After wiping the HDs and reinstalling OS 9 and X, not one is
unstable - all work very well with no problems at all.
The Rev 1/As all have original size HDs in them (6GB) due to the
controller chip issue and the Rev 2/Bs have 40-120GB HDs in them and
none are a problem running OS 9 and 10.3/10.4. I have had a few bad
RAM modules but those were also problematic in Beige G3s, and when
installed in Sawtooths for testing, the RAM speed of those machines
slowed down measurably. Those modules are quarantined and I haven't
thrown them out because I'm pig-headed.
These examples are for 7 different B&W machines, some with G3 and G4
upgrade chips in them. In my experience all B&Ws are good machines
as long as the HD in Rev 1/As are kept at 6GB or a PCI ATA card is
used.
