    Default RAM heat differences

    I have a G3 Powerbook 400Mhz (Lombard series) and have been checking
    the temperature of it. I had 64MB of RAM (SO DIMM, 144 pin) in it and
    the temperature ranged while idle around 129F. I installed 128MB more
    of RAM and the temperature went up to around ~140-150F. My question,
    is this usual, or is the 128MB chip too hot?

    thanks!

    The temperature increase is probably because the CPU is spending more
    time actually crunching and less time waiting for data that got paged
    out to disk.
