Thanks, Bruce, I like that spirit. I'm going to find out about this! After all, I have a working module, so I'll decipher its internals with the help of that Chipmunk site. I'll be back.
For the time being: This stick has chips on both sides, but the company clearly described it as high density. Only, at that time, I had no idea that that was important. More details from their description: Unbuffered, dual-channel-able, non-ECC, non-parity, 64x4 high density, 3.3V, CL3.0 and of course 512MB, PC133, SDRAM, 168-pin. The manufacturer is indicated as Infineon/Qimonda On Oct 12, 5:38 pm, Bruce Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > On Oct 11, 2009, at 8:41 AM, Geke wrote: > > > > > I did try the module in all three slots, yes, and it does have 8 chips > > on the back as well... > > Looks like the only way is to buy stuff marked as "for Mac also". > > No. SO long as things like density and speed requirements are met, > same as any computer, there IS NO DIFFERENCE between RAM used in Macs > and RAM used in PC's. > > You either have a faulty RAM module, or it's mis-labelled and is > incompatible with your system. > > -- > Bruce Johnson > University of Arizona > College of Pharmacy > Information Technology Group > > Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
