Am I right? Does anybody know anything about it? >> Correct. The Beige G3 (all versions) will not recognize one-half of the RAM on a single-sided SDRAM stick which has only eight chips. In these cases, the stick is accepted as one which has one-half of the total RAM which is programmed into the EPROM. As usual, the Beige G3s require "unbuffered with EPROM" sticks. And, the Beige G3 is *supposed to* interrogate the EPROM in order to determine the size of each stick. But, this interrogation fails for any stick which is manufactured as a "half populated" stick with high-density chips. The flaw appears to be in the Power On System Test code of the Beige G3. These sticks will be correctly interrogated by a PC, however. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
