DDR 3200 In eMac 1.25Ghz
Hi Am I right in thinking DDR 3200 RAM will work in a machine that takes DDR 2700 as long as both are 184 pin sticks. I've been offered some 1GB sticks of DDR 3200. I know my eMac takes 2x1GB sticks. Is it just like PC133 and PC100 that it will just run at the slower speed?

I've only used PC3200 in my Macs that came with PC2700, although on my G4 Mini high-density PC3200 wouldn't work, it needed low- density, so you'd better check if there's a high/low issue first. If the 1 GB is low you'll be OK in all instances, but this is doubtful, in my Mini's case, low-density was twice as expensive as high-density. If the eMac can use high density, you're also OK in all instances, but if the eMac needs low, you MUST have low. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I've been offered some 1GB sticks of DDR 3200. I know my eMac takes 2x1GB sticks. PC-2700 is getting hard to find. PC-3200 is the most logical replacement. In my former (since sold) Mac Mini G4, 1 GB PC-2700 was unavailable, so I substituted PC-3200. Is it just like PC133 and PC100 that it will just run at the slower speed? Yes, precisely so. You cannot swap DDR2 for DDR. PC-2700 and PC-3200 are both DDR (AKA, DDR1) PC-5300 (AKA, PC2-5300) and PC-6400 (AKA, PC2-6400) are both DDR2. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

No, I just didn't mention it as I have no machines which can run DDR3. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
