iMac G4 1.25 - how to maximize memory - 2008/08/19 16:01 wondered if anyone knows how to maximize RAM in this model?

This site says there are two slots - a factory fitted 184 pin DIMM which is 'inaccessible' (128 or 256), and a single SO-DIMM 200 pin slot.

So just how would you maximize RAM, when there is an inaccessible factory fitted slot, and a user accessible SODIMM slot which is only supposed (according to Crucial) to take a 512mb card max?

Seems weird to me. Esp as Everymac says it IS (if not Apple supported) possible to max out RAM to 2gb.

Any help appreciated,

H.

Re:iMac G4 1.25 - how to maximize memory - 2008/08/19 16:36 Hector 512MB is the maximum for user installed memory. Also the 256MB may be replaced with a 512MB making the total max 1GB, however like the eMac of this speed, it will take 2 x 1GB modules. This link advertises the modules but warns the replacement of the bottom module should be carried out by a certified technician. Warranty may be void.

I guess long past warranty so you might consider it. There are plenty of web sites with instructions.
