They usually used a "regular" SODIMM in one slot, and a "low-profile"
(really what's regular for a laptop) on the processor card's underside,
using low-profile SODIMMs in both won't hurt anything though

Thanks Michael.
I opened the iMac I just bought and realized that the
memory stick was the same width as some laptops I've
used, but the height was about twice that. Is that
similar to what you've found?
Thanks,
Ricky

Hi Ricky,
All the older iMac's can run up to 512MB of RAM. I
bumped up two "tray loaders" the 233 and 266 MHz
with 512 MB RAM kits from DataMem in Salem, NH:
http://www.datamem.com
They had the additional 4MB of video RAM for the old
233 as well.
The "slot loader" model uses the standard sdram and
will go up to 512 as well.
Another interesting side note is that they will all
work with HDD's up to 137GB. So you could
tentatively upgrade to a 120GB, although with OSX,
the tray loaders need a partition of 8GB or less at
the beginning of the drive for the OS, and the rest
becomes storage space pretty much.

Thanks Mike! I'm considering bumping my memory up
to
256 too....do you know if that is the max it will
run?

Hi,
I have several G3 iMac's which were given to
me...One, a blueberry 266MHz with 256MB RAM, is
happily buzzing along on YDL 4.0 No issues thus
far. I had an earlier version of YDL running on
an
original "bondi blue" 233MHz with a trifling
amount
of RAM and it ran ok as well. Mike

I ran across a cheap iMac G3 and have begun
to
load
Yellowdog Linux 4.0 onto it....any comments?
(other than "what the heck are you doing
with a
Mac?")
Thanks,
Ricky Gravely
