I'll admit to being confused. I have a 333 iMac that I would like to upgrade to OS X, and so I need to boost its RAM past its current 96 MB. I searched in the archives for info and found where Kyle (Obi-Wan) indicated that the "official" reports of 512K being the max RAM possible were no longer accurate given that 512K modules were now available.
In looking on ramseeker.com, only two places (OWC and Memory4Less) list prices for 512K modules for this iMac, but I couldn't find a listing for 512K modules on either vendor's site. Searches on other memory vendors indicated (still) that 512K was the maximum for a 333. So my questions: 1) Are the 512K modules no longer produced, or can anyone recommend a vendor who regularly stocks them? Or do I need to get a 512K module for another iMac-compatible system instead? 2) I've always thought the more RAM the better--but given that most of my applications are not overly graphics-intensive (web surfing, email, Nisus Writer, Office, Dreamweaver once in a while, maybe adding Photoshop Elements) is 1024KB overkill? Would I do just fine with OS X on this 333 if I upgraded to the old standard of 512K? 3) It sounds like to replace the 32MB chip that came with the Rev D, I have to remove the processor and then install the new module, and some memory sites warn that a trained Apple tech should only do that. I'm definitely not a trained Apple tech (I've replaced memory once before in my life, a couple of years ago). Cause for real concern or are they just appeasing lawyers? :-) Thanks in advance for any help or guidance. Best, Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
