There is price variation between vendors. A 128 MB chip costs between $100-200: closer to $100 from chip venders (such as Microtech); closer to $200 from catalog stores. But the …

I bought additional memory for the iMac I bought my folks plus for my G3 using Ram Seeker. Try: http://www.macseek.com/index.shtml and it will pull up a huge list of places on the …

It is most likely you are seeing regular RAM and low profile RAM.Low profile RAM is the $300+ RAM you see +

I just purchased 128 meg from Memorytogo.com for $119, a little more for fed ex delivery. Works great!

Yes, the Low-Profile RAM is the only RAM you can get to fit into the 2nd Slot... 192MB is the Fastest/most cost efficiect amount of Memory to have in the iMAC. 128MB in the top sl…

There is a difference in memory quality. The memory you buy from catalogs are top of the line premium memory, which is why you can spend so much on them, but you are guarranteed th…

Heh, you might wanna check that math, Macguy - 128+32=160MB :-D It was incredibly easy for me to install my 128MB DIMM... Apple even includes an illustrated guide in the Apple Gui…

Can anyone help me find an 8MB iMac Voodoo2 card?

Hi, Often when the finder on my beige G3 accesses the CD drive (even when just checking it when I try to save a file) the entire system lags for a few seconds. It seems like this…

No, I bought it at the apple store. Have you come up with any solutions to the problem?

is it a cd or is it a dvd

I have a beige G3 with DVD that exhibits the same delay while the disk is being spun up. It'd be nice if it didn't happen!

I have the same problem exept I have a 6500 with a 12X CD drive. The whole computer momentarally freezes while the CD gets spun up and accessed. Its especially annoying when you ar…

Congratulations, you have just discovered the down side of IDE devices, the CPU is involved in the use of the IDE device so every reference will have a negative impact on your mach…

Peecees will not let you write to an empty drive. Nice idea, though :-) In addition, peecees *do* have the same delay, IF they are waiting for data from the drive in an active pro…

Running 8.6, have the latest modem updaters from Apple. Still am only able to connect at 21600-28800. Whats up? Not my ISP cuz friend and relative have same ISP and connected in…

Since your friends and relatives can connect at 40k, the problem isn't with your ISP. Since I have a Wallstreet Powerbook running 8.6, and I can connect at 40k, it's probably not …
