Ram only for BW G3s?
Posted by: jkoci on 2008-03-15 12:00:12
I have a pair of 256mb sticks that seem to work only in a BW G3. I tried them in two G4s and an iMac DVD and they will not work in those machines. They work fine in the BW. The sticks are both marked with a label that says G3. Anyone have any ideas on why this is? Thanks.

I asume the G4's you have need pc133 and the RAM you have is PC100.

Only yikes G4s take PC100 IIRC

They both can take PC100. One is a Sawtooth and the other is a 450DP.
