I have had a Beige G3 in the past with three 256MB PC133 sticks and it cuased no problems. Are you sure about the double density problems Bruce? These were sticks that I bought from memoryx.net and they worked fine. Maybe they were only single density, not really sure. The only thing I do know is that they were PC133 and they were 256MB and they ran with no issues.
One thing I would be careful with is the height of the memory sticks especially if you have the desktop model. Hope this helps!
