Where to Buy Cheap Aftermarket Memory?

I'm getting a 266 Beige G3 and my mom called and said it only had 32 megs of RAM in it. I'm not sure if this is true, but if it is, I'm interested in getting it up to 256 megs RAM and upgrading the graphics card so I can run OS X. Are there any sites that sell cheap aftermarket RAM? Or is there something I should be looking for on pricewatch.com?

Also, I read that the motherboard doesn't support 128 meg sticks. Is this true?

The screenshot says it all

Look for PC66 or PC100 RAM. Either will work in your machine.

Look at the screenshot and it should tell you all you need to know.

I had a Beige G3/300 Desktop and I had 3 256-MB modules in it.

Go to OWC G3 256 MB RAM, select more information on these models, choose which beige you have, and it'll tell you what you can use.
