While your in there stick in a bigger hard drive. We put a 40G in ours a coupla years ago. Goes like stink and we're happy as clams. Keep recycling these babies as long as the crt lasts is my take. There's a limit of course to cost/benefit, but Ram and HDs are easy and well worth it.
I remember d/ling an iMac revD tech manual somewhere - might have been on Apple's site. Good pictures of teardown with instructions. Don't have time now to look. If you need it, just post again here.
Good luck

Hi:
I have a 333 MHz iMac (Purple - color is important : )
It has 96 MB RAM ( 32 in the hidden slot and 64MB in the accessible slot) and I want to replace the 64 MB DIMM with a 256 MB DIMM and use this machine as a test system with Panther installed on it. I know it's going to be slower than many models but if it runs it's good.
I am not sure what kind of RAM I need and where to get it.
One site, that had instructions on how to get at the mother board, suggested that I need a 144-pin, PC100 SO-DIMM
A RAM site linked from lowendmac has all kinds of different stuff to choose from:
These 2 look promising...
- 256MB SDRAM PC100
- 256MB SDRAM PC100 (Lower Slot)
but which slot on the iMac is the lower - the one that is on the exposed side of the mother board (this would be the one lowest in the mac when sitting upright) or the hidden slot?
Anyone able to assist?
...and recommend a good source for it. I'm in Toronto and could pick it up if there's a local source. If necessary, I can order it over the net but I need it in a hurry.
Cheers, David
