Feb 2, 2014 3:40 PM in response to De Onbewaakte Zoneby K Shaffer,The upper or 'factory' RAM slot of a late model iMac G4 that shipped with an 184-pin PC2700 DDR333 chip can use a PC3200 184-pin chip (of the same specs otherwise, buffer, etc) and it will run as a DDR333 slower chip. The OWC company has good information & product, as do a few other reputable firms.
{A sorted tail of terror and woe accompanies my experience with a AppleCare covered iMac G4, a RAM upgrade, troubleshooting, logicboard failures, 1,000 miles, etc .so I edited those details from this reply.}
The RAM is ok. If you get the correct spec PC3200 184-pin RAM;
there are others that seem the same but are not. I have a running
Mini (Late 2005) G4 1.5GHz w/ 1GB RAM, but lack chip details.
And the SO-DIMM chip in the iMac G4 last model 17"/20", is same
PC2700 DDR333 part the G4 iBook (mid-2005) uses as upgrade.
Good luck & happy computing!
