iMac G4 1GB Memory

[rjcalifornia]

Ok, so I want/must get the right type of RAM memory for my iMac G4 700Mhz

Which one I have to get? Any link? I know about RAM but I just don't want to get the wrong type and waste my money.

BTW I got all of my previous ibook/iMac RAM memory sticks from very old HP/IBM laptops and Xerox printers, so it's my first time buying a RAM memory for a mac

You want one stick of 512MB low density PC-133 laptop sized and one stick of 512MB low density PC-133 desktop sized, for a total of 1GB.

Depends on if you are getting RAM for the inner or outer socket.

Both use PC133 SDRAM, outer uses SO-DIMMs, inner DIMMs. Try the Crucial memory finder.

This is the exact SODIMM RAM from Crucial for your machine.

Looks like this is the DIMM one you want.

Thanks! Thanks!

So, I cannot use a 1GB memory stick for the outer socket?

You can try, but you'd need to manufacture one first
1GB PC 133 SODIMM is like a Powerbook G5.

OWC is good, but with RAM, it really is all the same with the name brands, and probably brand-x RAM as well. As long as the RAM you purchase is compatible, you probably are well off.

Also, I forgot I had an old Xerox printer in my storage room. It had a 256 MB RAM so I took it out and put it on the iMac G4 and it is working properly once again. It even passed the RAM Test! Man I love Xerox printers!

No, that ram is for the DDR model iMacs. You need PC-133.

Ok, man

hmm.. see, I went with ebay because of International shipping. So I think I just need a 512 MB RAm...

 

[rjcalifornia]

Well, I bought this one:

So, I just have to week 2 or 3 weeks

I purchased the memory in my iMac from OWC, and I haven't had any issues with it whatsoever.
