I just got an old PowerMac G5.
It's this one listed here:
Apple Power Macintosh G5 2.0 DP (PCI) Specs (Early 2005 - M9747LL/A) @ EveryMac.com
I opened it up for the first time today...I'm upgrading the hard drive and ram in the next few days...
Anyways, I noticed that there are 4 slots available for RAM.
There are 2 groups of spaces for these slots.
It looks like this:
4 - No slot
3 - No slot
2 - Empty slot
1 - 512mb RAM
1 - 512mb RAM
2 - Empty slot
3 - No slot
4 - No slot
So I got to thinking, why are there numbers 3 and 4 listed even if there are no DIMM slots for RAM?
Is it possible to install 4 extra slots so I can upgrade it to 8gb instead of just 4gb?
I've done a lot of work with PC's, never with a mac.
Opening this up for the first time today was like a dream come true.
Finally...organization underneath the case!
Thanks for any input/help!
