[edit] Mac OS 9?

Which eMac models can boot into Mac OS 9 and which will run only in Classic?

Why would you want to do that? Mac OS X lets you run classic programs.

Programs yes, but I for one have not been able to get classic system extentions and control panels to work in OS X. Also, could you please be careful not to delete other people's comments?

The 700, 800Mhz and 1Ghz eMacs can boot OS9.2. Kiand 15:44, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Max memory for an eMac 1.25 Ghz... 1GB or 2GB?

This article claims, without citation, that the 2nd revision eMac "can be upgraded to a maximum of 2 GB DDR SDRAM". A few vendors make the same claim, implying up to 2 GB is supported, using two 1 GB DIMMs. But most memory vendors do not sell 1 GB DIMMs for the eMac.

However, this Apple Support spec indicates the max memory for the 2-slot 1.25 Ghz eMac is 1 GB, and the largest DIMM supported is 512 MB: "two 168-pin DIMM slots support up to 1GB using 128MB, 256MB, or 512MB DIMMs".

Which is correct? --Serge 22:14, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I get the impression there may have been two 1.25 GHz eMac models, one with PC133 memory and one with PC2700 memory (compare this with Apple's specs). The one with PC2700 seems to support up to 2 GB (although not officially) while the one with PC133 supports up to 1 GB. More research (in the non-original sense) is needed. —204.42.17.193 20:33, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
