The slot on the motherboard uses standard desktop PC2700 DDR RAM with a maximum size of 1GB. Here's a good price, especially for Crucial stick: <http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145086> The "user-accessible" slot underneath the bottom plate uses PC2700 SODIMM Laptop memory, also with a maximum size of 1GB, so you can max the memory at 2GB. Here's another good price, also for a Crucial stick. Free shipping on both, too: <http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145068> HTH Alex --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
