I just got an original lime iMac 333mhz. It only has 32megs of ram. How hard is it to add memory? Do the directions come with the memory? Can I take it somewhere to have it done? How much can I put in? Can it run OS X, and if so how much memory do I need?

Lots of questions!

I won't be using the computer for anything heavy duty. It's for my 1st grade class, and I just put kid software on it . . . but I would like to increase its lifespan.

How To Install

How much memory it can hold

I would think 256 would be enough, but you can put in as much as 512.

Oh.My.Gahd.

Well forget that. Thanks for the great information, but that's about 10x too complicated for me. Maybe I can find someone who can do it. I thought Macs were supposed to be easy!

Dex13, thanks so much! It stills looks hard, but I think I can do it with that.
