What is the maximum ram you can put into the beige G3 Desktop?
768 MB total is the max, three 256 MB sticks of low-density PC66, PC100, or PC133 SDRAM DIMM. Low-density means chips on both sides of the module, meaning 16 chips total, 8 on each side; rather than 8 or 4 chips on only one side, which is high-density. If you use high-density it will only be recognized as half the size (if it recognizes at all, some doesn't). I've never heard of anyone using high-density 512 MB sticks to max out a Beige, but I suppose it's possible? Get low- density if at all possible. Most sellers know about the difference, OWC is good about the distinction, but ANY low-density should work, it's just that most available now is high-density.
