RAM question

Albertomac · Aug 29, 2006

I´m want to buy some ram for my power mac g4 (mirrored drive) dual 867
it uses 2100 DDR sdram I think... I live on Mexico , there arent many mac stores around here, so Can I buy pc memory?

by example, will this memory work ? :

Assuming it's the right spec RAM, it shouldn't matter if it's labled as for PCs or Macs, it should work.

I went to a local pc store and the tech guy was very nice and tomorrow hes coming to my house with a 2700 DDR Sdram Kingston stick to see if it works well...

we both think that the faster ram will slowdown to work at the same speed that the slower 21000, so I can mix both of them without problem, but I found this disclaimer on the kingston website

PC2100 models will support PC2700 parts (KTA-G4333) if original DDR266 memory is removed first.

So anybody has mixed different speed ram on their computers.. ?
