I think all the memory in the Mac is now 322, and thus all > CL3. (All of it is also PC100, not PC133.) My DAs and QSes are perfectly happy with 333 and 322, or any mixture of them. Usually, the sticks I buy are 333, so the 322 one was an odd-ball. The factory 512 MB sticks were 333 (QSes came with one 512 MB stick ... at least the QSes I own). The one point which is a _must_ is the sticks must be low-density. After that, a Mac will accept any stick which it can read the SPD device and properly map that into the DRAM controller. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
