The Great RAM Shuffle - MacBook Pro to MacBook to iMac G4?

[jnc]

When I pick up my MBP in January, I'll be sure to swap out the 2GB for 4 and put the 2GB into my current 1GB MacBook.

Now, will a 1.25GHz G4 iMac with 256MB RAM be using 2 x 128 (I haven't bought it yet, doubt the owner would know such things) or will the user-serviceable RAM slot be empty so I could put 512mb straight in, totalling 768MB?

Will I even be able to use a 512MB sodimm from the MacBook?

C'mon you RAM geniuses, help me out!

You cant use the ram from a macbook in a G4... different ram altogether.

Poo - I think I just saw 200 pin SO-DIMM on both of them and thought it'd be possible

Yeah, well the G4 uses DDR and the Macbook uses DDR2.

All intel based laptops can use the same Ram.

Yeah I must have glanced over that. Do you know if the iMac G4 shipped with an empty slot or is using 2 128s in both?
