    The Power Mac G4 logic board provides four PC-100 DIMM slots.

    Compatible DRAM DIMMs must meet all the following specifications:

    • PC-100 Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM)
    • 3.3 volt
    • 64-bit wide, 168-pin module
    • Maximum of 16 memory devices on the DIMM
    • Unbuffered; do not use registered or buffered Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM)
    • Maximum height of 2.0 inches.

    Note: Although 2 GB can be installed, a maximum of 1.5 GB can be addressed through the Finder in the Mac OS.

    The computer comes from Apple with one DIMM slot populated with a 128 MB DIMM. Additional DIMMs can be installed in any order, in any size. There is no performance benefit to matching DIMM sizes or installing them in pairs.
