Gus,
When you're shopping for RAM for a Desktop Beige, make sure to buy
"low profile" RAM, as the full size sticks will not allow the top
portion of the casing to snap into place. I own one of these, too,
and it's been a problem in the past. OWC has these for less than $16
(no affiliation, yada, yada, yada. . .). Just saying. . .
