I'm typing this on a rev. A with 160 MB of physical RAM (32 + 128). The current limitation on RAM for a rev. A is 384 MB. You can achieve this by using a standard 256 MB module i…

Hi, I own the Rev.A iMac as well. It does support more than 128MB RAM, which I installed 2 128MB 144-pin RAM in it two months ago. It works great now for 256MB RAM without any …

My parents have a Rev A and I want to add a 128 chip for them. Is the 32MB chip that is already in it, in the upper or lower slot? I've seen both upper and lower slot 128MB chips…

It's in the lower slot, but you can of course put it in the upper slot as well.

Although phrases such as "...search the archives..." come bounding to mind, the max RAM in RevA-D is 512Megs, the only reason lesser amounts are quoted on Apple's site is because l…

yeah, I have 256 real, physical memory in my computer right now...so no problems...let me tell you, get as much Ram as you can, especially if you play Deus Ex! ------------------ …

Hi I am using a Imac Rev A that has 256MB ram You can put a 128MB LOW PROFILE in the lower slot, and a 128 MB Low Profile or regular chip in the upper slot, I also know that there…

Also try ramseeker.com for iMac ram. I got a regular 128MB SO-DIMM for $100 shipped this spring

Any thoughts if this LP 256 module would work in a Rev B? I believe that it can, but I want a second, third...opinion. It seems to be a great bargain: http://www.memoryx.net/apl1…

i am curious if anyone has tried memory from http://www.memoryx.net or http://www.memorytogo.com both places have the cheapest prices in ram that i have seen, and the prices seem…

I purchased an upper slot 128M chip from MemoryToGo about ten months ago, and I have not had any problems! Got it for $109!

I want a freaking DVD drive on my iBook! Yeah yeah I'm gonna here that BS about "you should've gotten a PB G3". I wanted one, but this was a b-day present (my Mom said she'd by me …

not happening dude ------------------ -Bizzare Specs: PowerBook (Firewire), 500 mHz, 256 MB RAM, 18 GB HD, AirPort, OS 9.0.4

Bizzare is, unfortunately, correct, it's not going to happen, there isn't the onboard hardware or wiring to make a dvd-rom drive worth it on the iBook. It might be possible with th…

I disagree. Someone said that with 400mhz G3s, thats fast enought to do software decoding, so theoretically, if you O/Cd your processor and got away with it, and managed to stick …

theoretically, perhaps, though i'm not sure if it would work or not. Doesn't the Apple dvd-decoder use portions of the rage 128 chip? i dunno, i don't know much about dvd-decoding …

Curious, how about replacing the CD-ROM extensions and files from the iBook w/the DVD-ROM extensions and files from the PowerBook, G4, or iMac? Wouldn't that theoretically work? …

I'd like some help in deciding if I can and, assuming I can, then installing a second hard drive in my G4. The 27Gb it came with is ATA, but now too small for my iMovie projects. …

the bus is ultra ATA or fast ATA or ATA/66 depending on what you like to call it. needless to say, it's zippy, and the IBM ultrastar drive will work fabulously on it. I'm not sure …

You already have the reference book that you need. It is the "Setting up you Power Mac" booklet that came with the G4. There is a good illustrated section regarding adding hard dri…

It is indeed very important to have one Master and one Slave drive. However, the Master drive gets accessed faster, so you might want to make the stock drive the Slave and the new…

BTW: According to the Apple manual the original drive comes set to Master, but mine was not. Check the jumper settings on your factory drive before you boot up.

Also, the original HD might cause speed bottlenecks to your new GXP on the ATA 'chain.' I say check Xlr8yourmac.com for these kinda info, and email mike (owner of the site), he's p…

I just put an IBM 30GB drive into my G4/400 and had no problems. It fit fine in the bracket on top of the Quantum. [Hey Apple, could you cut the ATA cables any shorter?!] The origi…

A little side-comment from the peanut gallery: The IBM hard disk you selected is an impeccable choice. They are extremely fast, large, but a bit expensive. I've had experience wi…
