I have an iMac G3 333 system. I bought it from someone who said they had put a 512MB upgrade inside of it. When I booted the system up, it only read 320MB (1x64, 1x256). I opened the system to upgrade the HD from 6GB to 20GB, only to find out that there was a 512MB PC133 chip in there. So I assumed that this system couldn't read anything over 256MB, I installed a 256MB PC133 chip. Now my system reads 192MB. Why is it only recognizing half of the memory??
Also, I installed my Quantum Fireball 20GB hard drive I pulled out of my Powermac G4 AGP Graphics and it wont boot to it. I can boot a CD and install Mac OS X, but when I restart after installation, it looks for a CD.
