PS - I had 512MB PC3200 memory in mine from the Apple factory. There are a total of two slots available. It appears that 2GB is the maximum amount of memory that can be installed on the iMAC G5 computer.
Since I recently purchased a 1GB PC3200 from Frys, for my wife’s computer, I decided to remove one of her 512MB and double the iMac memory to a total of 1GB. This gave my wife 1.5GB on her PC running Windows XP and my extra iMac a total of 1GB.
Below is a video of how to install more memory in the Apple iMac G5 Computer.
I use the iMAC more for web testing purposes and browsing on the Internet than having the need for any very intensive type of computing power on that particular machine.
If you are going to upgrade your Apple iMac G5 memory, now would be a good time to do an internal inspection of your hardware components. Here is some additional information to be aware of about upgrading the capacitors on the iMac main circuit board (motherboard) when a problem is surely going to occur, based on what I have read and seen online, along with first hand knowledge too. Refer to the capacitor article for information and pictures on how to go beyond opening the iMac case and where to the problem capacitors are located on the main board.
