Absolutely seen: Yes you can! BUT your 5400 will only see 2 x 64MB. Working for years with several 5xxx, I myself have never seen a 128MB working as such in a 5xxx. And don't forget: You CANNOT use 4K-refreshrate. 1) Check your DIMMs at <http://www.chipmunk.nl/DRAM/ChipManufacturers.htm> 2) Check if the explored DIMMs are compatible with your 5400/200, same site. > (Yes, I know Apple says you can only go as high as 128 MB using 2 64 > MB modules.

IMHO it's best to go to OS 9.1 on this conversion, unless you plan to install a OS X.x.x. And IMHO again, this plan will shipwreck seen your RAM-limit (even with 256MB!). > I'd like to know if he was successful with 256 MB on a 5500/225 logic board. He only can tell you!
