so the conclusion is in our case its support only 3gb not 4gb
and better running 2gb instead of 2gb+1gb which make it 'slower'?
what i nice discussion

Before i open up the casing upgrading the RAM, everything is ok. I can login into Tiger as usual.
But after that no more, when start machine then it stuck at the Apple Icon with the rounding circle (boot up)
Dun have idea what to troubleshoot, is it hard disk failure?

if the ram problem and not compatible i found it will prompt the folder icon look alike, when i take out and put it back the icon disappear.
So nothing to do with the RAM i think, correct me if im wrong.

now im using STOCK RAM, still the same
Wonder i touch something that might cause booting problem, hardisk maybe?

step at the first post, to make it clear .. i put everything as before i upgraded the RAM
but the situation still the same, after turn on machine with the chime sound .. it stuck at the boot up with the Apple icon and rounding circle below
Got what im saying?

just curious if the system troubleshooting depends on the which generation. Not sure which version, the default ram DDR400. I never dealing with PowerPc machine before.

Again i state, i take out the upgraded RAM 512MB and put it back the old ram 256MB wonder if the 512MB not compatible, but after restore back the boot up still problem with the Apple logo and rounding below.
