The Rev C iMac G5's and ONLY the Rev C take 2GB sticks of RAM
512MB soldered on the logic board, and one free slot, which can take 512MB, 1GB and 2GB sticks.
The PowerMac's and Xserves can take 2GB sticks too, but no other iMac's then the Rev C G5 (iSight)

I thought I had posted in this thread already... 
Well, here is the latest floor plan of what used to be the living room.
And this is the latest 340 degree view.
and this is what it looked like a couple months ago.

Found a little time to take some pics of my lovely Machine

Hi guys.
Yes, I've got 2.5 GB ram. 512 is build in and I bought an extra 2 GB ram. It's not the Kingston ram from Apple's site, it's some other brand. Works fine

My job is to know Macs backwards and forwards. I need to be able to support Macs of all different ages, trouble shoot networking issues, trouble shoot software issues, etc. There is simply no way that I could do that on only a hand full of systems.bursty said:
Besides, most of my stuff I got for free or it has paid for itself.
For example... my PowerBook 2300c is meant to be my main school system. I do mathematics, and the main app I use is Mathematica. I could buy a newer PowerBook/iBook running Mac OS X ($1000 or so) and then buy Mathematica ($1800 without the student discount... which I don't currently get). But that's about $2800 I don't have. On the other hand my 2300c was about $75, Mathematica 2.2 was $50... that is $125 for pretty much the same functionality.
People often forget that 5, 10 and 15 years ago people were making nice quality stuff with the systems back then... they work just as well today (specially if you know what you are doing).
There are a couple copies on ebay right now... but there in North America. And I did come across a copy in Australia last week.Benjamindaines said:
I know that neither of those help.

I think a lot of it has to do with compatibilaty with other computers, & such.
A lot of things aren't just supported anymore and it is hard to get work done when you cant find what you need.
But in your case, it is great.
Even if you got a computer jst for internet it would be too.
But right now my stupid iMac (G3) with 1 GB of RAM (450MHz CPU) can't even play TV shows from iTunes.

i think he is being sarcastic. imagine the op using a roll around swivel chair, then imagine him playing a WOW gold farming character on each of those machines simultaneously. rolling from each computer in succession to farm gold by day and ebay it by night. it's the perfect plan...

Its the truth!
I can't think of any single computer that does what all mine do.jamesi said:
More importantly, why would I want to drop that kind of money on a system when I really can't justify it? There is hardly anything you can do with computers that I can't do in some way, shape or form with the systems I have now.
And I actually made money while putting together my newest addition (my Beige G3). I got a 20" display, an UltraATA/66 card, an 80 GB hard drive, a DVD-ROM drive, a USB card, a G4/533 upgrade, 640 MB of memory and an ATI Radeon 7000... and I still have an additional $50 from the project. I didn't pay out a single cent.
I don't expect that this is the way to go for most people, but it sure works for me.

In my eyes, more power to ya! I always want the newest/coolest/uberest product there is out there. If i could settle for dual CRT's and a grey case I'd probably save alot of cash.

There are not as good as my $90 Bose Companion 2 speakers. The midrange suck on the Stick speakers. I used to have some, very disappointed with sound range.
On the other hand the Bose companion speakers rock, there are 2 import plugs on the back, so I have 2 computers running into my speakers

You can find them cheaper on Amazon. I got my military discounted for $90
