- IMac G5, 2.1 GHz, 2.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM, 250 GB hard drive, OS X 10.4.11
I upgraded my memory on my IMac G5 isight (2006 model) from 1gb to 2.5 gb by changing the 512 memory to a 2 gb card. The new card specs were 2gb DDR2 PC5300/4200, 667/533MHz (the IMac specs call for a PC2-4200/533). My IMac shows 2gb 3200u 288. I returned the card to the store and exchanged it for another with the same result. The label says GB Micro which is, I believe, a reseller that uses more than one manufacturer. The tech at the store says this memory has an excellent track record for them (I believe them). If anyone has any insight, advice, or ideas about what is happening I would love to hear them. Thanks.
