Your iMac is an iMac G3 CRT.

The iMac G3 has 2 RAM slots and requires PC100 RAM. The maximum RAM you can install is 1 GB (2 x 512 MB).

PC133 RAM can be used if the you buy pieces which will operate at 100 MHz (the speed of the iMac G3's motherboard). Not all PC133 will run at that slow speed.

For instructions on how to install the RAM, see KB 95144, iMac (Slot Loading): Installing or Replacing Memory.

I also have a 17" iMac G4, 1.25GHz, and I want to upgrade the memory as far as I can go but on Crucial, it says that you can only go up to 1gb total. I'm also not bothered about opening her up, as I did this when I first got it because I was curious how everything fitted inside.
