Sorry, Larry, I'm late to this thread. I have a Beige G3 Rev.A running fine with OS 10.1.5 with 768 MB Ram. I'm not removing anything - I prize the Rev.A mainly because it was able to avoid the scandalous firmware upgrades that 'disabled' Ram (even Apple's own). Now I have jaguar - what next? Did you run the third party DimmCheck in Classic mode? Thx George
