And in general, I hate virtual memory. It slows systems down horribly. I

it spends most of its time scrolling out to virtual, finally starts
thrashing, and then requires a hard reset. :(
So tiger with 192 mb doesn't get it done..
Thanks for tips!!

Gus,
When you're shopping for RAM for a Desktop Beige, make sure to buy
low profile RAM, as the full size sticks will not allow the top
portion of the casing to snap into place. I own one of these, too,
and it's been a problem in the past. OWC has these for less than $16

An ATA-133 card is going to be limited to ATA-66 speed because of the
bus limitations of the Beige. The only advantage of

There is a semi easy fix for this. The fan shroud for the power
was configured with 769Mb of virtual memory on
his own dedicated HD partition. No doubt when it was used with Photoshop 5
it did need a bit more of RAM! The owner had not much memories about how it
was configured as the machine had been stored since July 2005 and only took
from storage late last year
Another way to get quicker HD response is using XPF to boot from a
Firewire 400 external HD. This is cheap and gets rid of both the 1st 8 GB
limit and the 128 GB limit, which only the ATA-133 card would also do,
but normally at higher total cost and less usage flexibility.
Now you mention

I think you mean 4GB and 40GB. My G3 here also has a 40GB in it :D
Yup! I was on RAM size mode while writing :-)

You could if there were such a thing. I've never heard of one. The
internal FW connector (on this card and on some PowerMacs) was intended
for FW drives, HDs whose interface was FW, not via an IDE convertor but
directly. Such drives never materialized.
Thanks for the answer! It makes a lot

Well Stephen, determining your sticks
Update: Started to test parts, using the good machine as a test mule.
First, tested the RAM sticks from the two bad MDDs (faster 2700 RAM
from the 1.25 GB, slower whatever from the bad 867) in the good 867.
All tested good.
Then, tested the now-known-good RAM in the slots of the bad 867
somehow managed to
fubar both 867s?
In short, what works?
The other two, though, are another matter. Eventually, I punted and
started swapping around both RAM cards and CPUs. I had two old and
small RAM cards, four newer 2700-speed 512 RAM cards, one older/slower
CPU card, and one newer

I have a G4 iMac 20 1.25Ghz that the optical drive died on, while I
am changing that out I would like to replace the memory as well. It
currently has (in the not user friendly inner slot) a PC2700 DDR333 -

If the stick actually fits, then faster ram can be substituted
