Hi, i've just tried to breathe new life into an iMac 233 MHz ”bondi blue”. I've installed Mac OS X 10.3.9 (including 15 updates from Software Update :-) ) on it, and i've put 512 (256 + 256) MB of RAM into it.
It works like a charm, just one minor issue though: according to ”About this computer” it only detects 256 MB of RAM, which is a bummer since i'm trying to install Indesign CS2 on it, which requires 384 MB or more... so I cannot install it. I still have a 32 MB and a 128 MB module from before the upgrade... i've read stuff about putting ”low-profile” SO-DIMM:s into the lower socket of the processor card. I cannot see any major physical difference between the different modules except the amount of memory IC:s on them, but still... if i put the 32 or the 128 MB module into the bottom socket and let the 256 MB module stay put in the top socket, is there any chance of the system detecting them too, so that i'd get 288 or 384 MB of RAM? Any advice is most welcome. Cheers! -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
