I purchased a 256MB 168-pin DIMM 133mhz SDRAM. I placed it in a 450 B&W G3 & Beige 266DT and they both recognized them as 128MB only. So then I placed the 256 RAM module into a 400mhz G3 Green iMac DV and it was recognized as 256 - but it has an asterik next to it that says "these are slower DIMM's". (Note: The original memory chip in the iMac is a 256 PC100.) So my question is why is the memory being recognized as 128 instead of the 256 in the other 2 G3's (B&W & Beige)? From what I understood you could use PC133's in place of PC100's. They would work only as fast as PC100's. But I didn't think they would be recognized as only half the memory size? Am I off track on this? Do I need PC100's only? Thanks in advance for your response. Linda [EMAIL PROTECTED]
