Between yours and Chris' replies, I think I'll have to go with the three matching sticks of PC133-222 RAM. For now, since I'm not yet working with music, the old adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies. I plan to upgrade my processor from the current 333MHz G3 to a 900MHz G3, with the 333MHz G3 being an upgrade from the original 233MHz. I'll be upgrading my hard disk drives, as well, going from a 30GB 7200RPM IBM Deskstar & 20GB 7200RPM WD Caviar, to two 120GB 7200RPM 8MB cache WD hard disks. Any future upgrades, beyond what I've mentioned above, will be to another Power Macintosh (or 2), be it a B&W G3 that'll donate some of its parts to my current beige (with coming upgrades being moved to the B&W), or to one of the G4 models out there.
