Macs will often become dangerously unstable/crashprone when the wrong RAM is put in them. I've seen this firsthand when a friend bought 256MB of RAM for $40 from OfficeMax and tried to use it in his iMac. Freaky behaviour. My advice is to use what is recommended. According to ramseeker.com, 256MB of RAM for your machine will set you back about $35 and 512MB about $62. No offense, but these seem to me to be ludicrously low prices and since they're guaranteed to work on your model, whatever tiny "premium" you might pay over back-alley PC RAM seems more than worth it to me. _Chas_ Come to ...
