Introduction

*Although Apple’s original specifications stated that these models shipped with PC100 RAM, Apple later noted that RAM must be “PC-133 compliant”.

What you need

Step 1

              RAM               

• The 700MHz thru the second 1 GHz models use PC 133 sticks. The maximum RAM is 1 GB. The second two 1 GHz models and higher machines use PC 2700 memory sticks and have a maximum RAM of 2GB.
• Lay a towel (to protect the screen) on your work area and place the unit face down with the bottom facing you.
