[QUOTE="mbusboom, post: 906552, member: 36906"] My monitor has quit for the 2nd time on this desklamp so a techy friend of mine removed the monitor for me. I am now using a new external monitor & using the desklamp computer as sort of a mac-mini. So she showed me the 512MB stick of DR2100 memory that is installed just underneath the cover of the base. My question -- can I pull out that 512MB stick of memory & replace it with a 1024MB stick of DR2100 memory? newegg.com has it priced for $31.99 Should I also upgrade the memory installed right to the motherboard? The reason for my question is that I would like to get this computer to run a little faster ... and upping the memory might be the most economical fix. Any & all suggestions are appreciated. :Confused: This is some of the info about my iMac Machine Name: iMac Machine Model: PowerMac6,1 CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3.3) Number Of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed: 1 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB Memory: 768 MB Bus Speed: 133 MHz Boot ROM Version: 4.5.8f1 Running Mac OS 10.4.11 TIA --- [/QUOTE]
