Good day, Ralph All of the memory in my Gigabit is PC133... According to Mactracker, the Gigabit only needs PC100. I've seen ads which imply their RAM sticks operate at CL2 if PC100 is requested, and at CL3 if PC133: e.g. (maybe) http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/ 133SD512328/ My understanding is that PC133 is higher grade, so using it at lower requirements is OK. It might depend on the manufacturer or brand of RAM stick, too. Cheaper ones my not switch to lower PC100 from the PC133 ... AKAIK. Like Jonas said, try it. I would also test it sandwiched in between 2 known good ones, in the Gigabit, using applejack in single user mode running memtest. My thoughts on the subject ...

G4 Gigabit ethernet ram
Howdy, Would memory pulled from a G4 Quicksilver work in a Gigabit Ethernet G4? It is PC133 memory and I know that memory generally works in PC100 systems, but I don't know if the G4 Gigabit is sensitive to the speed difference.

Re: G4 Gigabit ethernet ram
I think it would. Try it and see. That is my method. If I find some extra ram I put it in and see if it works. -Jonas On Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 10:34 PM, Ralph Green sfrea...@sbcglobal.netwrote: Howdy, Would memory pulled from a G4 Quicksilver work in a Gigabit Ethernet G4?

No difference, although the Gigabit's ROM will check it and discover that it is PC133 and not the expected PC100. Gigabits will accept 512 MB sticks from DAs and QSes. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.
