To answer the most important question first... > Is it normal for the memory to be shown as only 256? > > (I do not find any site listing a 512mb module for this Yosemite box BTW.) That's b/c the Yosemite does not support 512 MB modules. Your machine is only recognising half of the module... get a refund (if you still can) or sell it and pick up two 256s instead! The B&W can hit a maximum of 1 GB using 4 x 256 PC-100 DIMMs (& FYI you DO NOT want to be running OS X in under 0.5 GB of RAM. Anything less and your machine either better be a *fast* computer (600 MHz+ with fast HD), or else you can only run a few apps before hitting the virtual memory pageout slowdown (320 MB just ain't enough for me... especially when i was used to 576 MB). I cannot for the life of me figure out how you got 184 MB RAM over three slots, unless that was 184 MB over 4 slots (128+32+16+8 (did they even make 8 MB PC100 modules?)) and you pulled one chip to install the 512 MB DIMM!!! BTW I didn't think the 300 MHz B&W came in a Rev 2 edition!? PS If your instability occurs when you're using dial-up internet in OS X, it could be OS X's fault. I'm switching over to a PB which means I have to also have it set up for dial-up and integrating dial-up, OS X 10.2.3 and Classic is nothing short of a nightmare!!! OS X is truly a LAN-ready OS. Dialup BITES (especially the fact that you cannot have 'automatic' connect going b/c it doesn't seem that OS X honours internet app requests for web access while off-line (in OS 9 the OS would simply dial when PPP was needed... doesn't seem like OS X does this, even when I have the settings active)).
