I have some old sticks of RAM which I'd like to put into some new iMacs. I can't remember if I got them from previous iMacs or macbooks, but on the sticker it says

1GB 2Rx8 PC2 - 5300S - 555 - 12 - E3

They are Samsung brand. Are these 667 mhz DDR2 SDRAM that's currently in my iMac?

If you have a 2nd generation aluminum imac, don't put it in. The memory controller might slow down, or it might speed up that stick of memory to the controller's preferred speed, which would be very unfortunate, because then your imac would cease to function until you took the memory out.
 
Opposite

Hello, i have the opposite problem.

I have a G4 Mac Cube and the same ( Samsung 1gb 2rx8 pc2-5300S-555-12-E3 ) RAM ( I have 2 of 1GB Each).

Can I put this RAM in the CUBE without blowing it up?

Thank you!

Is it the right kind of RAM? What does the cube need?
