Hey guys,
I'm new here, so please spare me if i'm doing something wrong. I've got a question regarding a RAM upgrade with my 20" iMac g5. It's not the newest one that has the iSight camera up top, but rather the version just before that.
I'm looking to add 1 gb of ram. The specs are as follows, listed by apple-
1. iMac G5 computers work with memory modules (DIMMs) that meet all of these
criteria: PC3200, 2.5V, unbuffered, 8-byte, nonparity, 184-pin, 400Mhz DDR SDRAM.
2. There are two RAM slots. The maximum amount of RAM you can install is 2 GB. You
can use RAM module sizes of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB, in either slot.
3. DIMMs with any of the following features are not supported in the iMac G5 computer:
registers or buffers, PLLs, ECC, parity, or EDO RAM.
I'm looking at two models, which vary in price by about $70 (hmm...)
From Crucial-

From NewEgg-

The price difference seems too good to be true, even though it seems that the specs match up. Will the NewEgg RAM work in my g5?
Thanks,
