Didn't think it was necessary. I am looking for ram, PC-66 to be safe.

if u are to buy/pay for it.. it should be very cheap or almost free
http://www.amazon.ca/128MB-Memory-Apple-iMac-PC66/dp/B00978FNOO

http://www.upgradeable.com/apple/imac-233mhz--bondi-blue-.html

accordng to everymac:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac_ab.html

RAM Type:   PC66 SDRAM   Min. RAM Speed:   10 ns
Details:   Uses 144-pin PC66 SO-DIMM memory modules.

also everymac says that the "official apple supported" ram max is 128mb but despite that it can be upgraded to 512mb ram
(see this page: http://www.everymac.com/actual-maximum-mac-ram/actual-maximum-imac-ram-capacity.html)

it says it has 2 ram slots so u need 2 x 256MB pieces

forget that!!

u can find a whole new imac g3 for 50$ on ebay

The ebay auction you linked is $18, but I'll shop around. There is a computer store south of the state line I can look at.

[supernova777]

yeah but its 20$ shipping + tax = 50$ forget that

[supernova777]

you would be better off buying a new imac that has firewire
or even an ibook g3 instead they are cheap as hell and portable + Easy to deal with

they also come with the ram u need inside them;)

[TGOTR]

I think it's because it's because I live state side, and you're Canadian. It says free shipping for me on the ram. Either option is worth looking into.
