Yeah, the M is for Micron. They are actually based here in Idaho :D

All,
I have a Quicksilver it was originally a 733 Mhz one but when I bought
it someone had upgraded it to 933Mhz. Its running 1.25 GB RAM. I
recently got a deal on the lowendmac swap list for another 512 MB RAM.
I inserted it into the 1st RAM Slot and removed the 256 MB Stick that
was in it. When I restarted I get 3 beeps and no video. I'm like ok
this is supposed to be good RAM. I then placed it in the 3rd Slot and
the Macintosh booted as normal but didn't recognize the memory. I have
looked around and people talk about CL (CAS Latency) and Low vs High
Density Memory so I'm wondering if the RAM is good but just doesn't
meet the specs.
Information on RAM:
Crucial RAM:
512MB 168-PIN DIMM 64Mx64 SDRA (from my understanding 64Mx64 is Low
Density). This is the information on the Crucial Sticker.
Information on the tag with an M with a circle going through it
(Micron?) says the follow:
MT16LSDT6464AY013D2 200703 CNCFLJ001
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN SINGAPORE LEAD FREE
PC133U-222-542-Z
512MB, SYNCH, 133MHz, CL2
All my other RAM says CL3. I was wondering if this computer can only
use CL3 Memory.
If it can I wanted to find out if a true Quicksilver Dual 1.0Ghz can
run CL2 Memory (if so I'll keep this as I just got one with processor
and motherboard and plan on moving over to that.
Thank You,
Albert
