so let me get this straight. i have an imac G5 1.9 GHz PowerPC memory 512MB ok. So i can take out my memory and replace it with 2x 2GB memory sticks to give me 4 GB altogether and i will not loose anything but just gain speed?

From what I can tell that model has the 512MB soldered onto the motherboard and an open socket.  That socket can be upgraded with a 2GB part for a maximum of 2.5GB. Your socket would be under the front edge of the monitor. No data would be lost during the process.

thanks for that. so i dont need to take the whole back off my imac. just the slot at the bottom?

[4allmemorydotcom]

That is correct. Your model is newer than the one we had for demonstration.

will the SDRAM from my mac g4 work in an imac g5? because i have one 254 mb stick and then 2 512mb sticks. the ram in my imac g5 is bad so i need to put in working ram so i figured i culd take out the two 512mb sticks from my power mac g4 and put them in since they both take dimm sdram. right?

[4allmemorydotcom]

It would depend on the model of the G5, most take DDR SDRAM Modules instead of the PC100/PC133 SDRAM.

@qwertyfello

It's not a loud beep either, just a high pitched chirping that is extremely irritating..

[qwertyfello]

I bought an imac g5 with no hard drive or memory and bought the parts to replace them, only problem is, after I replaced all the missing parts the imac wouldn't turn on! It just makes a high pitched beeping sound about once every second. Do you know anything about this? What can I do to fix it?

[kevl93]

i have a imac late 2006 what do i need to look up to buy a 2gb and a 1 gb ram?
