[QUOTE="AlyciaAnimation, post: 649738, member: 49992"] I've been contemplating maxing out the RAM on my iMac G4 (1Ghz 17" widescreen). I found out via MacTracker that Apple says the max amount of RAM is 1 GB but the actual amount is 2 GB. Why the discrepancy? If it can actually handle 2 GB why would Apple say 1 GB? Is it risky putting 2 GB in there? Could things go horribly wrong with more RAM than Apple recommends? [/QUOTE]
