- 17" G4 iMac dome, 1.25 ghz, OS 10.5.4. 5th Gen 80gb iPod Video
Hey all,
I'm reading up in here and outside of MF on maxing out my memory and I'm getting confused. I have the G4 iMac flat panel with 768 MB ram (512 user + 256 factory). It can support up to 2GB.
Would the imac still run okay if I install a 2GB stick and keep the 256 still inside (since I can't access it)? Or would I need two 1GB sticks; I install one and have an Apple specialist install the other? Has anyone installed the inaccessible one on their own? My imac has long been out of warranty, so I'm not worried about that. But then again, I don't want to risk doing something stupid. I want to max out the memory because later on I plan to upgrade to Leopard.
As always I appreciate your help.
