RAM for PowerBook G3.

While messing around with XPostFacto and Panther on the PowerBook G3 Series last night, I remembered that I have to check out the RAM situation on that machine. Currently it has 2 sticks in it, both of which appear to be 256MB. However, the System Profiler is only reporting 256MB instead of 512MB. One of the sticks isn't labeled, though.

According to LowEndMac, the maximum for the PowerBook G3 Series (Wallstreet) is 512MB, and low-profile DIMMs are required. I'll have to do more testing/research to figure out what I've got in there now. Maybe there's a faulty 128 in there instead of a 256. At any rate, at $22 for another 256MB, I think all I have to do is make sure I order the right thing.

512MB should be plenty for playing MP3s and the occasional MPEG file on my living room entertainment system, which is what this PowerBook is destined for.
