Mac Forum / General / Hardware / April 2006most compatable memory brand
whats up all, im looking at upgrading my g5's (dual 1.8 ) memory. Im wanting just some general advice, so can u all tell me what memory you've all used in your g5's, which brands worked fine, which brands were glitchy and caused crashes and stuff, u know those sort of things. was thinking about getting crucial balistix or maybe ocx memory, any out there used these at all, and if so to what success? and one last thing, ddr is a industry standard, so even if ddr memory is branded as being for pcs, it should also be compatable in a mac right???? (that is if the speed and number of pins and stuff is matched correctly) thanks for your time, your help will be much appreciated * posted via http://www.mymac.ws * please report abuse to http://xinbox.com/mymac > was thinking about getting crucial balistix or maybe ocx memory, any > out there used these at all, and if so to what success? I've had very good luck with memory from crucial.com and from ramjet.com. Both offer competitive prices, and a quality product. I had a 512MB module in my G4 iMac start to fail after about two years (started acting as a 256MB module), and Ramjet did a little bit of troubleshooting over the phone to make sure it wasn't the Mac. He said it was unusual for a module to fail that long after installation (he's right), but then happily replaced the module. The replacement has had no problems. > and one last thing, ddr is a industry standard, so even if ddr memory > is branded as being for pcs, it should also be compatable in a mac > right????

However, many vendors (like Crucual) will guarantee that the product is compatible with your computer, but only if you order it by searching for memory for your specific computer. Just something to keep in mind.  SignatureGarner R. Miller Clifton Park, NY =USA= http://www.garnermiller.com/ |
