Mileage varies. Some report troubles with 128 MB DIMMs in Power Computing machines; others do fine.
(I think 128 MB DIMMs were unknown, or at least uncommon, when Power Computing was in business; some believe the machines weren't engineered for those DIMMs; others suggest that the "256 MB max" in PowerCenters, etc., simply reflected Power Computing noting 64 MB x 4 = 256.) I've put two in my PowerTower (non-Pro, on the same kind of mobo as a PowerCenter). Both were cheapies (the latest was just $25!) that came from OWC, but were bought at different times and are clearly from different manufacturers. With each one, I had some initial crashes. Oddly, after running TechTool Pro, crashes disappeared. The extra memory (mine has 384 MB, along with a PowerLogix G3 400 1MB) seems to give a little more liveliness to the machine. Certainly it allows for more memory to be allocated to RAM-hungry apps, and you can have many apps open at once -- very useful for web production, for instance. --Chuck on 5/27/02 3:14 PM, John Nickerson at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi all, > > I recently upgraded my PCP 240 minitower to a Sonnet G3 500 MHz, and was > wondering about boosting the RAM.
