OK. I saw Macsolutions.com selling 1GB DIMMs for the 1GHz imac. Can this machine support 2GB of RAM?
Doesn't Apple say the max is 1GB total?
Has anybody out there put a 1GB DIMM (SO-DIMM or not) in their iMac?

Dunno about eMacs, but maybe the iMac.
Anybody out there got over 1GB ram?

I just checked MacSolutions.com and they didn't have the 1gig option just 512. Though it would be REALLY cool if you could overclock it with a 1 gig chip. I'd be interested if anyone has tried this and if it would work!

Well, either they lied, or their website is wrong.
Look at this: http://store.macsolutions.com/pgi-Product%20Spec?DDR1GB
Says "imac" at the bottom along with other models.

The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.

But at the bottom it says....
Works in
Xserve
Dual 867 PowerMac (Mirror Door)
1GHz PowerMac (Mirror Door)
17in 1ghz Imacs
I think this is very strange. Why just these machines?

Why only those machines? Memory Management Unit (it's a chip on the logic board). 1GB DIMMS require newer MMUs to be seen and used correctly.
I have installed a 1GB DIMM in the internal slot on a iMac (17" 1GHz) for a customer. She had a 512MB DIMM in the SO-DIMM slot. Total, per ASP: 1.5GB RAM. Been running with no problems two weeks now.
I have not seen a shipping 1GB SO-DIMM, so I do not know if you can take the iMac to 2GB RAM. I think you could, but do not know.

Trans Int'l sells one for the 12" powerbook for $499.

Update: Well, I guess 2GB is official now: http://macnn.com/news/20933
