If you're planning on going to a G3 or G4 upgrade I'd stay away from the 128 meg ram. Some vendors advertise that their sticks will not work. From personal experience I agree with them. The 2 128 meg sticks caused my 9500 with a G3/400 upgrade to freeze while playing Alien vs Predator. Once I replaced them with 32 meg sticks AvsP worked flawlessly. Even with an ancient Voodoo3-2000 card. In fact some games play better on the 9500 than on my AGP equipped G4/400.
