Roger, The following is taken from EveryMac.com see: < http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook_g3/faq/expansion.html>
How much RAM can the PowerBook G3 series support? What type? The original PowerBook G3 can support up-to 160 MB of RAM with a combination of 32 MB of onboard RAM and a 128 MB 60 ns EDO DIMM. Greater RAM capacity may be possible with higher-density DIMMs. The "Wallstreet", "PDQ", and "Bronze" PowerBook G3 series can support up-to 384 MB of RAM by using one 128 MB and 256 MB 10 ns SO-DIMM. Both SO-DIMMs used in these PowerBook G3s must use SDRAM, not EDO or SGRAM (with a "G"). One RAM slot is located on top of the daughtercard and can accommodate RAM that is up to 2.0 inches high (256 MB), and the other slot is located on the bottom of the daughtercard and can accommodate RAM that is 1.5 inches high (128 MB). The PowerBook G3 "FW" series can support up-to 512 MB of RAM by using two 2" (or less), 256 MB, 8 ns SO-DIMMs. Gary Hall Roger Adams wrote: > I have just purchased 2 x 256 mb of RAM for my 1988 Wallstreet (Aug 98) > (G3/250 mhz/160MB RAM) on the basis of information on the OWC web site as > follows: > > > This module is compatible with the following Apple computers: > > > > * Apple PowerBook G3 1998, aka "WallStreet" > > * Apple PowerBook G3 1999, aka "Lombard" > > * Apple PowerBook G3 2000, aka "Pismo", aka "FireWire" > > * Apple iMac 233, 266, and 333 (Rev A-B and C) > > However, my local MAC Repair Centre here in Bangkok Thailand says that the > maximum memory that this model can hold is 192 MB. > > Kyle, (or any other listas), what are the facts based upon your experience, > can you advise if I have bought a couple of lemons or can I use any or all > of these.
