The cheapest, best RAM. Installed it on all my personal / work CPUs. Has a great memory finder tool. Every Mac is on there.

eh... take 'er to the Apple store and let the psuedo-intellectual cock-bag behind the counter handle it...
.. then it's their problem.

i don't want to pay someone to plug in a stick of ram when i can do it myself...
anyone else?
- PonyBoy0
dude... I don't think you have to pay them...
... or so I'm told.

mine was installed for free when I bought a G5 and upgraded memory. Im pretty sure its free to install as long as you buy it there.

hey scarabin try here

you have to install 2, so if you wanted 512 more total, you should buy 2 256's - one for each side of the ram slots, otherwise buy another 512, and you'll be cruisin'

..and there's no reason to have someone do it for you - or lugg your machine somewhere

crap, the 512 stick i bought says "not dual-channel compatible"

i feel lame for having a hard time installing ram for chrissake
- PonyBoy0
hahaha... you should!!
but like stated above... if it's free.. and you're having a shitty-time doing it yourself... let the Apple twits fuck it up so it's not on your shoulders.

You're not having a hard time installing(all you do is plug it in)
You just don't have the right thing to plug in, dangit..*no apple twits for you
