>Quick question: will PC100 RAM work in a Beige G3?

The Beige is spec'd for PC66, but it will work with (almost) any 
"unbuffered, with EPROM" (the default for a PeeCee) PC66, PC100, PC125 
(not an official designation, but derivable from the access time 
designator of the DRAM chips themselves) and PC133 SDRAM.

The DRAM controller chip reads each SDRAM stick and writes the contents 
of the EPROM into its parameter registers so it knows how best to access 
each stick.

Because of certain limitations of the Beige DRAM controller chip, 
high-density sticks which are double sided (256 MB total RAM) may be read 
incorrectly as 128 MB.
