I don't know who wrote it originally, but I saved this tidbit from an old post to this List; it may be just what you can use:
Someone wrote: The iMacs 233-333 had a max ram spec of 256mb when they were produced. I have had several occasions when I put two 256mb sticks in and the top stick would only register as 128mb. If you have this happen, check to make sure that your processor card doesn't have metal retaining clips for the SIMMs. If it does, make sure they aren't touching any of the chip pins on the ram card. I had this happen, and the iMac worked fine, it just wouldn't register the full amount of memory. A quick bit of electrical tape to insulate the retaining clips cured the problem, and I had a Rev A happily working with 512 MB of ram (2x 256). >In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >From: Anne Judge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: Tiger on Tray Load >Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2005 20:58:19 -0400 > > >On Oct 7, 2005, at 3:14 PM, chris wrote: > >> I have two 233 iMacs running with 512 >> MB, so I'm pretty confident I can get the 333 to do it too...
