That spec is old, and was never updated to reflect sticks with 128 MB or 256 MB capacity. Some 128 MB sticks and quite a few 256 MB sticks report only one-half their capacity to the Beige. These are sticks which were made using very high density RAM chips. Many PC133 and PC150 sticks are like this. Almost all PC66 and PC100 sticks will work. If your sticks don't report their correct size, then the problem is due to a flaw in the Beige's RAM controller. However, that flaw is limited to its handling of very high density RAM chips on so-called half-populated (i.e., one-sided) sticks using those chips. Sticks which don't use very high density RAM chips should work regardless of these being half or fully populated. All sticks should be common PC-type "unbuffered with EPROM" sticks. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
