Hi Eric,
Macs are extremely picky about memory, especially recently. Cheap generic RAM can cause a lot of problems, including crashing and kernel panics. The problem is especially acute in high-heat machines, such as your G5. Go to http://discussions.info.apple.com/ and do a search for "bad RAM"...
Most people on Apple's support boards swear by Crucial (AKA Micron) RAM. They are one of Apple's OEM suppliers, so when you buy the RAM from Apple, it's most often Micron RAM. It's a little more expensive than the cheap stuff they sell at Newegg, but most people seem to think it's worth it. I put a 1 GB Crucial/Micron stick in my Mac mini, and it's been flawless so far.
If you go here and select your model of G5, you can see what Crucial recommends for your machine.

I will probably go ahead and buy some RAM memory soon. My G5 works with DDR-400 - PC-3200. Will my computer support any Ram unit with these specs. or do I have to buy a specified type for my mac?
thanks for any advice,
