Hello everybody- Just bought my first MAC today. Picked it up for cheap. According to it's serial number and from cross checking on a mac site(not sure if i'm allowed to post links) It's a Powermac G4 MDD 1.0ghz. Unfortunately, it did not come with either a power cord or any memory but it did have a 120gig HD and a dvd drive so pretty much everything is there except the Ram. So I plug in the power cord and install 256mb pc2100 memory and hit the ON button. The mac just gives one Loud Beep and then nothing, no image on the screen. I've taken out the memory and tried it again and the same thing occurs. I'm assuming that this means the memory isn't recognizable and the mac probably needs pc2700 memory. I don't have any pc2700 but I may be able to get a couple of pc3200 memory, do you think this will be ok? I've read some forums and some seem to suggest that it can work while others say to stick with pc2700 memory.
