Check with crucial.com. Based on the info you supplied, it appears
that you should NOT install the PC2700 DDR 333MHz 200 Pin SO-DIMM, and
max memory for the iMac appears to be 1.0 GB. Crucial is one of the
most estimable RAM suppliers and, if you visit their web site, you
will be able to talk live online with one of their techs regarding
upgrading the memory for the iMac. Make sure you know the iMac G4 flat
panel model; there are several of them w/ 20-in screens (e.g., 700,
800, etc.)
