[QUOTE="rcltrh, post: 319227, member: 15752"] I can second that. I bought a 512 MB stick of PC2700 for my iBook G4 a few months ago, and it freaked the machine out. It would work occasionally, but then lock up a lot, and sometimes not even boot or attempt to boot. But when I took it out the machine would work fine with the original 128 MB stick I had. However, I stuck the same stick in my e-Machines notebook (same pc2700 specs required for ram) running Windows XP and it worked flawlessly. Interestingly enough, I put the original stick that I had removed from the e-machines notebook to make room for the 512 stick in the iBook, and it works fine. So both are working fine just by trading their sticks. I guess the emachines laptop doesn't mind either kind but the iBook would only take the kind that the emachine had. Go figure. [/QUOTE]
