I have a eMac Power PC G4 w/256 MB of memory. Can I install another RAM stick or replace the existing RAM stick with one w/more memory? Is it as easy to do as it is in a PC? Do I need to look for a special brand or type such as DDR?

Find the right RAM for your PC at http://www.crucial. com.
Look for a tutorial, while you're there. APPLE RAM is very expensive and is functionally the same as Crucial's.
Open the case and install it. It's easy.

If by "as easy as I could with my PC" you do it yourself, then yeah sure, but if you're a new Mac user I wouldn't recommend it. Static electricity and seriously mess up a computer if you touch something you shouldn't be touching.
I would do one of two things:
1) Bring your eMac to your nearest licensed Apple retailer, and get them to do it for you.
2) Bring your eMac to your nearest licensed Apple retailer, and get then to show you how to do it yourself. Then buy the RAM from their biggest competitor XD

You need to get RAM chip made specifically for your model Mac. Macs are picky about RAM. The are supposed to be easy to install, read your manual on how to or go to macsales.com or ifixit.com and look for tutorials on how to install/replace RAM for your Mac.

I'm no expert but from what I've told, you can't no.
Apparently the deal with Macs is that they don't upgrade because they are systems that last longer than PC's without an upgrade. I'm sure it's possible somehow though, right?
