iMac G4 RAM Upgrade

iMac G4 RAM Upgrade Tube. Duration : 9.42 Mins.


SD VERSION OF VIDEO IS TRUNCATED - IT SHOULD BE 9:25 LONG. Click HD to see the whole thing. SEE BELOW FOR TECH NOTE ON G4 IMACS.... After digging my way through a number of Macs the day before (see linked video below), I'm upgrading one more machine. This time it's swapping out the RAM buried deep inside a G4 iMac. Since many people have asked: 700MHz or 800MHz iMacs take PC133 RAM, max of 512MB in each slot, 1GB total. 1GHz G4 iMacs or faster take PC 2100 or PC2700 and (even though Apple never approved it) can handle 1GB max in each slot, for a total of 2GB. Apple never approved it because 1GB RAM modules were not available during the production lifetime of these models. But the 1GHz or faster G4 iMacs can and do take up to a total of 2GB of RAM.
