computer recognizes the new memory.

To check the memory, do the following:

The total includes the amount of memory that originally came with your iMac G5 plus
the new memory you installed. For a more detailed view of the amount of memory

compatible with this iMac G5 and that it is installed correctly. If you still have problems,
remove the memory and consult the support information that came with the memory
or contact the vendor who provided the memory.
