Hi guys, gals, small furry creatures etc.

Do you think that this memory:

http://www.amazon.co...mp;linkCode=asn

Is compatible with my MOBO?

Reason I'm asking is that in the Amazon review, they state "This memory is designed for the following systems:Apple Power Mac G5 Dual Core 2.3GHz;Apple Power Mac G5 Dual Core 2GHz;Apple Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5GHz."

Yet the specs seem to be ok.


Many thanks for any replies!!!!

Thanks for the swift answer my friend!!

[rshaffer61]

You are very welcome.
I would suggest that if you are not going to replace all your memory then make sure the new memory is as fast as what you have.
With the cost of memory being so low now it would be more cost effective to replace with two 1 gig modules from the same manufacturer and that way they would be 100% compatible and there won't be any issues short of a bad module.

[Jonesey]

Yes - that's exactly what I plan on doing - replace the lot.

Thank you for your time.

[rshaffer61]

You are welcome and let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

rshaffer61 - just to let you know that I've installed 4Gb of fully matched RAM, and since then, my machine has never been faster, has not crashed once (I was getting regular BSOD's - BAD POOL CALLER)

You can close this topic if that's standard operating practice.
