Hey,
I have a 1.25 G4 mini that I use at work. I want to upgrade the memory and I'm toying with the idea of overclocking it as well. Does it matter if I buy the memory for the 1.25 or the 1.42 G4 mini? Looking at a couple suppliers the specs look the same but their part numbers are all different. Example from crucial.com
Memory specs for the 1.42 G4
1GB, 184-pin DIMM, DDR PC2700 memory module
CT431640
Module Size: 1GB
Package: 184-pin DIMM
Feature: DDR PC2700
Specs: DDR PC2700 CL=2.5 Unbuffered NON-ECC DDR333 2.5V 128Meg x 64
Memory specs for the 1.42 G4
1GB, 184-pin DIMM, DDR PC2700 memory module

It doesnt look like it matters, does it? Anyone have any advice or know of any known gotchas?
