iMac Rev A -- newbie help

[Goofus]

The problem with that is my (original) iMac only has a system bus speed of
66mhz, and I've been unable (after two years) to find anything greater than
96mb that can run on that -- newer chips are 100mhz and 133mhz.

In fact, to add insult to injury, I have the original 32mb chip here in my
hand that came out of this piece of refuse when I got the new 96mb one -- I
could *technically* have 128mb of RAM as I type this, but with only one slot
for RAM there's nowhere to stick it.

Again, I don't mean that dirty.   :-)

The max is 256Mb according to www.everymac.com.  I have 160Mb in my Rev B.
A lot of these "the machine can only take blah ram"  things are because at
the time of release the biggest chips you could put into your two slots
were only 32Mb or 64Mb, whereas now they sell 128Mb or 256Mb chips that fit
in the machine and the machine can address every last byte of them!
