I can say with absolute certainty that I did not - because before I got the new sticks, I only had a single compatible 512MB stick. If it even shows the presence of more than one stick, it is completely impossible for at least one of them to not be 1GB, even if I had somehow mixed them up.

Hey, sorry for the delay - been busy with other things. Hopefully I did it right:

And device tree dump attached in a txt file, because it's obnoxiously large.

Kind offer, but only three slots work after the bus upgrade, so I'm hitting the 3-slot max anyway. I really don't know my way around OFW, and have no idea if this is what you were looking for; this is the best I was able to get, but maybe it makes sense to you? (Copied into text file from OFW...

That was actually the first thing I tried, and how they are currently arranged, just with an additional 512 stick in J21 to boost it to 1.5GB - the J23 slot apparently ceases to work after the bus speed mod. This seems a smidge above my level, tbh; I'll have to get my partner to take a look...

I finally upgraded the RAM in my G4 MDD Powermac; it's originally an 867MHz DP model, upgraded to 1.25GHz DP with a bus speed modification. I had a single 512MB stick of PC2700 RAM in the machine, and tried to max it out to 2GB with a pair of 1GB PC2700 sticks. I've found, however, that both 1GB...

Generally seems okay - I've had some lockups, but I think it's the lack of RAM; I need to bump it back up, but I haven't had the money to spare.

It's alive!! Swapping the RAM from J23, the slot second closest to the GPU, to the next slot down, zapping PRAM and hitting the PMU reset, everything now seems totally stable! Bounced between Sorbet and Tiger and tried a handful of things; nothing crashed or locked up at all. Thermals appear...

Thanks. <3 Wasn't sure if you meant it "should still run at 133MHz bus" as in "it'll still work if you revert the mod."

Temperatures didn't seem to be an issue, based on the monitoring. My heatsink is the one that came with the Dual 867MHz - had to cut about 2 square centimetres out of it to fit the extra components on the 1.25GHz board, but it's still got the industrial blaster fan on it. Using good thermal...

Good news is that I replaced the RAM with a 512MB PC2700 stick, and it boots okay! Bad news is that it seems incredibly unstable. Limited testing, but Sorbet Leopard gave me the ol' "Mac Bomb" Grey Box of Death multiple times without warning, and Tiger locked up and froze on me at least once. It...

I have not! I've considered having both System 7 and OS8, but will need an additional drive to do so. I do currently have Basilisk II set up for a few games that won't run properly on OS9, but I fear that the compatibility of that software with this hardware means it isn't going to be able to...

It's pulling duty as a triple-boot, Tiger, Sorbet, and OS9. And looking to expand further with an unlocked MorphOS, but I've not used it enough yet to feel comfortable and take the plunge. I want to retain full OS9 compatibility, so I stuck to the "officially" supported GPU and already upgraded...

I'll give those tips a shot, thank you! I've got a stick of PC2700 on the way I was able to pick up cheap, at least for testing; will hopefully arrive some time next week.

Well, my dual 1.25GHz CPU arrived. Successfully removed the resistor cleanly... but upon reassembly, I get a single loud beep and periodically blinking power light. Swapping the original CPU back in, I get nothing but the fans blasting at top speed. Searching online led to all manner of posts...
