<< Hey, your beige G3 can accept 256mb PC133 dimms.

There are 256 sticks with sixteen chips which will be read correctly as 256s. It is possible to "convert" high density chips so as to appear to be low density. OWC is currently using this technique on its 128 FPM sticks for pre-Beige Macs. I have not found any incompatibility with "converted" sticks ... even on the VERY finicky Apple Network Server (ANS). I don't know if anyone is offering "converted" sticks for G3s, but it is technically possible to do so. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
