Hello

I recently got a two 1GB sticks of DDR RAM for my G5.

The sticks I had before read the following;
Speed: PC3200U-30440

The new sticks read differently at;
Speed: PC3200U-30330

My question is;

Is the newly purchased RAM going to slow down my computer a bit?

CanadaRAM please explain this to me.. ;)

The new sticks are faster than the old ones (unless I am reading this all wrong). The difference between the sticks won't be noticeable to 99% of users anyway!

I think that is correct...the only way I see that you would really notice any difference was if it was PC 2700 vs 3200.
