imac g3 memory upgrade question

[gohome190]

I have an imac g3 400MHz computer. I have 256 mb ram right now with two 128 sticks. Would a single 512 stick work? or... could i use one 512 stick and a 128 stick?!

I'm looking at this stick, would it work?

Yep, you can even use two 512MB sticks.

It seems so, but the 9 USD RAM has 133MHz as bus speed, while the iMac only has 100MHz, and I don't really know, if you can user higher clocked RAM with that iMac. Maybe MRoogle will give you more information.

this wont be a problem at all, the PC100 and PC133 SD RAM are pin compatible. The faster ram chip will just run at the slower speed in the imac. I have a 400MHz blurbery G3 iMac with 1GB of PC133 SD RAM and there are no problems on OS9 or OSX
