unless its so-dimm pc-66~pc-100 sdram then it wont work it
so-dimm uses 144pins not 168pins

it would depend on what specific type of G3 he had.

i used to have an indigo imac (i forget exactly which one, but it was a G3) and it used standard, run of the mill, sdram.

it must be wrong.
or the site linked in the first post is wrong.

http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index.html

it lists some imacs from july 2000 and earlier as having sdram.

Just tell him to go to link

This is a great reliable site with very simple check up tools for his Imac model.

Basically, it says Imac up to 333mhz --> SODIMM, so yours wont work

Imac 350-700mhz PC100-PC133 SDRAM so yours might work
