iMac's RAM not up to par???

[macgeek77]

I recently purcahsed a gig of Ram for my g5 iMac iSight. The speed of the RAM was DDR2 Pc2-5300. However, when I go to system profiler, it recogonizes the speed of the RAM is PC2-3200U-228. Is there something wrong here? Is the RAM damaged? Thanks for any help!

Apple sells:

PC2-4200
DDR2-533 DIMM

in the memory part of their site.

The 2 GB though, is $1,200!!!!

Wouldn't be damaged, but certainly sounds like it may not be the correct RAM. Do you still have the part # on a receipt or box or something?
