Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / February 2005Ibook G4 does not recognise new memory
I have a 11 month old ibook G4. Was looking to increase memory from 256MB by adding 512MB. Was given the following spec (200 pin ddr PC2100 266mhz, 64x64 CL 2.5 SODIMM 8 chip). I was offered the same spec except it was PC2700. (It was cheaper and I was assured it would work - which it does) Although the machine is running so much faster the system does not recognise the extra 512MB. (i.e. When I access the "About this MAC" menu) I was looking to run virtual PC for the mac which requires 512mb but I cannot allocate the extra memory to the application unless the system recognises it. Any suggestions as to how to make it "see" the extra memory Many thanks >I have a 11 month old ibook G4. Was looking to increase memory from >256MB by adding 512MB.

That's guaranteed to work by Apple. > I have a 11 month old ibook G4. Was looking to increase memory from > 256MB by adding 512MB.

Replace the crap they gave you with the PC2100.  SignatureGrandpa Koca - SAHD for 6 - Keeper of the Perpetual Kindergarten My opinion is neither copyrighted nor trademarked. It is price competitive. If you like, I'll trade for one of yours. Huh, the problem maybe is not with the standard as much as the SODIMM module. My G4 ibook is working perfectly with a 1Gb PC2700 module! |
