iMac is doing better...sort of.

corwynofamber, qijm, and urbanwolfie, for their insights.
Getting the memory out of the iMac was perhaps the easiest configuration I've seen. Seriously, there is a port of the back that unlocks with a flat head screwdriver, and opens up to expose two DIMM slots and the AirPort (Apple's wireless NIC) recepticle.
The 64mb stick by itself caused a boot failure in the Mac. Ick.
The 128mb stick worked, but Starcraft still failed with it's mysterious error.
Digging through my computer graveyard, I found a 512mb PC133, a 256mb PC133 stick, and 2 unidentified DIMM's look the same as the PC133 256mb stick of memory.
The 512mb stick works fine and the Mac is running a little faster now with just that installed. It's that whole diet memory for modern operating systems. I haven't tested any of the other sticks that I found yet.
( Crash details for those who are interested )
