All of the memory is low profile.  However, I just noticed on the web, 
that only a Rev 3(C) ROM is able to accept 256RAM modules.  My Rev 3 is 
on its way.  However, I now don't even have the fan spinning.  When I 
removed the PS and plugged it in, I tested the power supply at the 20 
pin power supply connector. With the black lead of the voltmeter 
connected to pin 16 and red lead connected to pin 2 the meter measured 
3.3VDC.  I measured no other voltage with the black lead at 16 and the 
red lead traveling to all the other pins.  Using the ohm meter I was 
able to get a zero ohm reading with the black lead on 16 and the red 
lead on the metal case of the power supply.

I am beginning to believe the PS is my problem.

I cannot find any visible damage to any wires.

I found the answer in Apple Doc#111933
