Appreciate your > advice. From what I understand in my cursory research, the Dual Channel mode will only be used if the motherboard supports it, otherwise it will revert to earlier standards. As for the speed, the 400MHz stick will clock itself back to the required 333MHz that you need. Crucial has some excellent information on their site regarding backwards compatibility: http://www.crucial.com/support/memory_speeds.aspx Having said all of this, I should also point out that Mac OS X tends to be very finicky in its acceptance of certain sticks of RAM, so be mindful of any anomalies which might appear during your everyday computing. If you notice some apps just up and quitting, or other weirdness (including kernel panics), pull the stick and run without it for a few days again to see if the issues crop up again. I once had my DVD burner suddenly cease to function, with a disc still in the drive, and the solution was to pull my new stick of RAM. - Tony --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
