This article explains which kinds of memory modules work with the Power Macintosh Desktop G3.
DISCUSSION The Power Macintosh Desktop G3 supports SDRAM DIMMs as defined by the mechanical JEDEC MO-161 specification, and the electrical specification as defined by the JEDEC Standard. Electrically, the Power Macintosh Desktop can support 384MB of memory, using three low profile 128 MB DIMMs. Without low profile 128 MB DIMMs, the computer is limited to three 64 MB DIMMs for a total of 192 MB. Some third party vendors have redesigned their 128MB DIMMs to be slightly shorter and to fit in the desktop case. If the developer has followed the electrical JEDEC specification and verified the design and functionality for the Power Macintosh G3 Desktop, then these shorter DIMMs should work without issue in the Power Macintosh Desktop G3. In addition, it is the responsibility of the third party manufacturer, not Apple Computer, Inc., to verify the design and ensure the reliability of their memory modules, including standardized parts, designed for the Macintosh. |
