[QUOTE="michaellamere, post: 808583, member: 47059"] [b]G4 Memory Install[/b] When I go to the Apple Website I see different styles of memory listed for MY iMac G4. I have the 1.25mhz 17inch with superdrive model. The memory is shows for my upgrade is: There are two RAM slots in the iMac (Flat Panel) computers. They are: * A user-accessible 144-pin SO-DIMM slot. * An internal (factory-installed) 168-pin DIMM slot I'm confused as to if I can get a memory upgrade more than a 512mb chip for the user accessible 144-pin SO-DIMM slot. It looks like laptop memory to me. I am not sure I want to tackle the internal memory application. However if I can get a 1GB chip into that 144-pin slot and it will work, then 1.25GB of memory should be fine for me. It's the orginal 512mb that is a little slow for me.

I went to Cheap Memory Outlet and used their memory finder and they said I needed 184-pin DDR DIMM PC2700 Unbuffered memory, they don't know their asses from a whole in the ground.
