[QUOTE="ahowle, post: 1119433, member: 174300"] I'm new to Macs (well, at least to owning one) and just bought a Mirror-Door DP 1.0Ghz G4 PPC on ebay for $100. I'm happy with it so far but am somewhat puzzled by the memory in the machine. From all the information I can gather, the max memory in G4's is 2GB, and the max per slot is 512MB. Indeed, I cannot find any 1GB sticks for sale anywhere. Anyway, it says that I have 2GB, yet only 3 slots are being used. It says that the first slot has a 1GB stick, and the other two have 512's. If the first slot does indeed have 1GB, then I should be able to put 4GB in the machine, correct? Is this most likely an error in the OS? What will happen if I put another 512 in the empty slot? Thanks in advance, Austin [/QUOTE]
