More possibly it's a typo on the part of a less-than-tech-savvy web designer, and they actually mean not compatible with G3 and G4 *Macs* which use a different type of RAM altogether. The RAM in use is determined by the motherboard, not the processor. Some G4 cards in particular may need to be throttled down to work with slower motherboards, in part because of the RAM, but usually because of the slower system bus in various machines. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
