Memory for Mac

[keichan82]

Hi all. Will memory for PC work on a Mac G5? All the specs match but was wondering if theres any difference between Mac and PC ram.
Thanks!!

I had an iMac DV 450 a long time ago and I took some ram out of my PC and added it to it so I would think it would work just fine.

Check Crucial or Kingston for their memory checking thingys.

Generally it will work, but some obscure brands that use really wierd timings won't. Do what Kensai said.

I bought some generic PC 133 for my Mac, and it worked. I still wouldn't recommend doing that though.

I also agree with Kensai.

Mac RAM = PC RAM. Most will work. But if you want maximum compatibility, buy it from Crucial.com and use their memory selector.
