Re: Blue and White G3 memory issue

[Garry Hamblin]

Well there are probably others who know more about this than I do, but 
I will still hang my hat on the theory that this early machine's memory 
controller won't recognize the higher density chipset on a 32 X 8 Dimm. 
 I am going to pick up a 256m chip later this week that has 16 chips on 
 it and see if that works.

as the G4s) specify 8ns. Also, the B&W specifies 64-bit, and
that is high density RAM!
I feel strongly that what you're experiencing is a machine
specific oddity and not a rev.A limitation.
There may be an undocumented 3rd slot limitation, but I've
never heard of it...
