The original G4 Tower had 4 RAM slots but only a 100MHz bus speed. Its 
processor was in the corner below or to the left of the PCI slots (depending on 
which way you look at the logic board). With the Digital Audio model there were 
only 3 slots and the bus speed was bumped up to 133. The processor was 
relocated to the right of the PCI slots. The System profiler identifies that 
it's a sawtooth and reports the phantom memory slot as empty. On my pre-DA 
(digital audio) it correctly labels all 4 slots from left to right (or top to 
bottom, sigh). ;)

So am I. Don't 3 x 512Mb DIMMs make 1.5Gb?  :)
