 512MB, SYNCH, 133MHz, CL2

 All my other RAM says CL3. I was wondering if this computer can only
 use CL3 Memory.

The problem might be mixing SYNCH or EEC RAM with non-synch/ non-eec
sicks. My G4s always seem to like non-eec RAM better although I do
have one Digital Audio with all 3 slots filled with 512 MB EEC sticks
that work fine. You can mix CL2 with CL3, the RAM bus will just
default to run all at the slowest setting.

I bought my car from Edmark in Nampa (suburb of Boise), and drove back  
to Kansas. I was really surprised to see that giant Micron plant  
outside Boise. As I remember, it's up on the high prairie with nothing  
but tumbleweed to keep it company. Seemed out-of-place. Definitely  
caught my attention as something I was not expecting to see in Idaho.

RAM Upgrade for Quicksilver

2010-02-12 Thread Albert Carter
All,

I have a Quicksilver it was originally a 733 Mhz one but when I bought
it someone had upgraded it to 933Mhz. Its running 1.25 GB RAM. I
recently got a deal on the lowendmac swap list for another 512 MB RAM.
I inserted it into the 1st RAM Slot and removed the 256 MB Stick that
was in it. When I restarted I get 3 beeps and no video. I'm like ok
this is supposed to be good RAM. I then placed it in the 3rd Slot and
the Macintosh booted as normal but didn't recognize the memory. I have
looked around and people talk about CL (CAS Latency) and Low vs High
Density Memory so I'm wondering if the RAM is good but just doesn't
meet the specs.

Information on RAM:

Crucial RAM:

All my other RAM says CL3. I was wondering if this computer can only
use CL3 Memory.

If it can I wanted to find out if a true Quicksilver Dual 1.0Ghz can
run CL2 Memory (if so I'll keep this as I just got one with processor
and motherboard and plan on moving over to that.

Thank You,
Albert
