I have a couple questions regarding this page http://www.theimac.com/ram_under.shtml, I believe the link was posted by Grev, and I missed the earlier part of the thread, but the picture that shows the "about this computer" screen and says iMac ram maxed out?
Do I understand this to mean that installing RAM in the underneath slot will make this bar not be maxed out? If so, how recent of an iMac would this apply to? I don't recall any mac I've ever had with extra MacOS RAM not being used.
Someone please enlighten me about what this means!!

Hi Karl,
The message on the picture has nothing to do with the bar showing memory use by the system. It's refering to the bit that says Built-In Memory: 192 MB. At the time the article was written the most RAM you could put in an iMac was 192 MB, 128 in the top slot and 64 MB in the bottom. This was due to the fact that a 128 MB SODIMM was twice as tall as a 64 MB SODIMM and could not physically fit in the bottom slot. These days most SODIMMS are the same size (phyically) as the old 64 MB SODIMMS and you can easily get more than 192 MB into an iMac. As to which iMac the article refers too, I would say its the original one as the talk about upgrades for the mezzanine socket.
Cheers, Grev
