1GB ram upgrade for iMac G3/400 - 2009/08/21 14:55 Hi,

I just tried to upgrade my iMac DV SE (G3/400 Mhz, nov. 1999) with two 512MB RAM modules (168 pin, PC133) but it doesn't work.
With both of them, I get an odd chime at boot with a black screen.
With only one of them, and the original 128MB module in the other slot, I can boot normally, but I have only 128MB recognized, the other slot is marked "empty" on System Info.

Yet, according to this:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac_se_dv_400.html
... there should be no problem.

A quick search into this forum's archives revealed a possible firmware problem, but I believe mine is up to date, it is the 4.1.9f1

Please tell me what i've done wrong.
