Hi folks, I'm a newbie here so I hope I can get away with a really stupid question. I've recently bought a second hand G% 1.8 Dual with 1Gb for Ram. I'm planning to increase this but need advice on what will work.

I only have 4 ram slots so I'm looking for sticks with big ram. I know that I should be looking for 400MHz PC3200 DIMMs in 184 pin sticks. I know that I can get 1Gb sticks but I've seen ram with up to 4Gb running at 800MHz.

You know what's....can I use it in my Mac?
