If the RAM stick has 16 chips, 8 on the front and 8 on the back, and is non-ECC (non-sync) it is true low density and will (almost always) work in the older Mac G3s and G4s. I can't tell from the pictures if there are chips on the back. I have occasionally found that ECC (sync) Ram might work in a G4 but it usually doesn't. The only way I know to be absolutely certain RAM will work in your Mac is to buy used RAM pulled from a Mac from the LEM swap list or buy it new from OWC. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
