[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 834136, member: 89124"] Looking at mac tracker, your system is designed for PC3200 DDR SDRAM, but not ECC. It will probably not work. The manual Denz posted in the listing does explain it... [url]http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/imacG5_17inch_memory_.pdf[/url] On page 2, copied and pasted here: 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. Plus, if you bought the ram, and for some reason it did work - if you all of a sudden started having problems with your machine, it would most likely be traced back to using non-supported ram.
