I'll be getting a G3 iMac tomorrow with OS X 10.3 installed, I'm guessing that since the G3 is fairly old now it will probably have something around the 128/256 mark. I was just wondering if the G3 needs any specific RAM or if regular PC100/PC133 SDRAM will work in it. I have 4 sticks 256MB PC133 all the same brand and type so if the G3 uses normal stuff I can just use that. So should that work fine or will I need to resort to flea bay to get the right stuff? Thanks.

Yep, put in some ram I had laying around and it works fine. I picked it up today, Its a 400MHz / 128MB system. I boosted it to 512 and its humming along much better. Its got OS X 10.3, I'm pretty happy with it, but I have no idea how to use it... been a M$ user for ever. Although this is a nice little PC and OS X seems ok, converting to Apple is certianly not on the agenda.
