Pc2700 ram compatible

Hi book worms ...
I have looked a little for an upgrade in ram, and my system says "use pc2100 or pc2400" but on the ram-guide
"http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302333"
it says pc2700 compatible.
Now, if its only compatible, will my computer work as well as with pc2100 ram or better? Does it mean that I cannot use pc3200 ram at all and is there special ram type for ibook? No -right?
thx for any re bounce Phil

Norman Ajlouny:
i I am bit confused about searching crucial.com's site when looking at the configurator versus knowing what to look for without assistance. I checked the link you provided at newegg.com and it is the exact same part number listed at crucial. However, I look for a compatible upgrade for my 12.1 iBook G4 w/512MB it tells me I need PC2100. The module is expensive, but my machine is running a PC2700 in DIMM1/J7. I don't know what the built-in memory is supposed to be (PC2100?) and would like to max out my memory bank.
Which machine, specifically? All the iBook G4 machines before the latest (Aug 2005) came with a recommendation for PC2100 SODIMMs. The latest two models should be using PC2700 SODIMMs. Newegg does carry a 1 GB PC2100 Crucial module.

As for Crucial.com, here's a picture I took of my packing list, with personal info covered up.
http://home.earthlink.net/~calvbfan/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/packi nglist.jpg
They refer to the *real* part number as "Material". That's the number on the module label and on the packaging. The "part number" on the slip is nothing more than an "ordering number" that describes a specific module/application combination (and possibly pricing differences). One of the criticisms of Crucial.com is their "dynamic pricing" system, where the identical memory might be sold at different prices depending on the application. The fact that it doesn't give you the real part number makes it difficult to do price comparisons with their wholesale customers like Buy.com or Newegg.

  • PC2700 RAM, where do I get these?

    does anyone know where I can get
    2 512MB DDR PC2700 RAM modules for an eMac `education only`?
    I can't seem to find them anywhere,
    or not for a reasonable price, I did found one of €47,-
    but other 512MB DDR modules are only €18,-
    O and on a side note,
    I need them from a dutch store/site,
    as I can't pay if there not

    re: foxofinfinety
    When my iMac G4 1.25 17" USB 2.0 computer was under
    AppleCare, and in for a service issue regarding a shipping
    damaged chrome display arm, the company (compUSA)
    at my request upgraded the internal RAM to 512MB and
    that part was on sale. Later on, after it was discovered
    the inCompUSA had appeared to have sold me a bad RAM
    chip, and they no longer stocked that brand, my iMac was
    in pieces in their shop. I live 100+ miles away, so my option
    was to have them keep the computer and hope to get a
    new piece of the same RAM under that RAM company's
    warranty (maybe two months waiting) or buy another RAM.
    {and the original Apple 256MB chip was 200 miles r/t away.}
    They had Centurion branded PC3200-DDR400 in 184-pin
    RAM and that was said to be Apple certified; and it was
    backwards compatible with the PC-2700-DDR333 spec in
    the factory slot. Not a problem since then, 4 years ago.
    Unfortunately, inCompUSA messed up the logic board while
    the computer was under AppleCare and then was unable
    or unwilling to troubleshoot and repair it. I did the trouble-
    shooting and drove it in to inCompUSA, repeatedly over
    a period of six months and about 6,000 miles, in my vehicle.
    But the RAM was not the issue, ultimately. And I did get a
    degree of satisfaction finally when I talked about the matter
    direct with Apple support and they agreed to not have the
    inComp people re-troubleshoot the computer, and instead
    of me driving another thousands of miles fruitlessly to leave
    the computer a week or two, for them to see if it would act
    up as it did when I used it at home, the inCompUSA techs
    were directed to replace the logic board with one Apple sent.
    And that made three logic boards befuddled by inCompUSA.
    The PC3200-DDR400 RAM should work in place of the
    PC2700-DDR333 184-pin RAM, if the PC3200-DDR400
    is of the same voltage and other specifications needed
    by the eMac to work correctly. While, iMac G4 USB2.0
    I have uses the same 184-pin (one) in the factory slot;
    however it varies in the fact a second RAM chip in this
    different unit is a 200-pin low-heat chip such as the last
    iBook G4 mid-2005 would use as an upgrade chip.
    And according to Mactracker database, among others
    the aftermarket and later day RAM specs for the eMac
    and iMac G4 USB2.0 computers show 2 GB total now.
    So, for the cost of a padded envelope or small box with
    bubblewrap and stiff cardboards inside, plus international
    first class postage, the offer to get two PC3200 chips is
    a good one. Or go to a PC shop with a printout of the
    RAM specs for the PC2700-DDR333 RAM, and get some
    such as one of the PC brands would have used; since
    the only real issue may be in the speed or voltage and
    a few details written in the specifications on the correct
    RAM. And I mean information other than the large print.
    This link should state the correct other RAM specs if
    you can't find them in other known sources, including
    the fact 2 - 1024MB chips are supported. They offer
    the PC2700-DR333 chips, of 167MHz speed for eMac
    and iMac G4 USB 2.0 (iMac second chip is a SODIMM.)

  • K7t266 pro with pc2700 RAM

    is this ok?
    cause pc2700 ram is actaully eaiser to find and infact cheaper not sure why..
    but will it be ok with my mobo? do its a kingston brand
    also kingston only sell cas 2.5 right?
    thanks for the help

    Most actual boards need pc2700 so more pc2700-ram is produced than pc2100.
    Pc2700 should work on your board but prearrange the chance of exchanging it with your dealer.

  • PC2700 RAM Power Consumption

    I recently installed an additional 512MB stick of PC2700 ram in my mid 2005 iBook (total 1GB), but it roughly halved the battery life of my already crippled battery (down from 4400 to 1134 mAh in less than 18 months..), so i replaced it with a 256MB PC2700 stick from an old laptop.
    This is OK, but ideally i'd like to have 1GB RAM, just without the reduced battery life. Now it would be great if there was an app that could limit the amount of ram that OS X uses, even better if it was built in to Energy Saver....... but something tells me that this isn't possible. Perhaps i will resort to cold swapping the ram stick when i want more performance.
    Oh, and to repeat a question asked a zillion times, will my iBook run slower on leopard than tiger with 1GB ram? I have searched around, and there's a lot of conflicting and dated answers. I'm sure someone has done some benchmarks, a quantifiable "11.2% slower" or something.
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Not anything a user would really notice.
    The user may experience an increase in battery life because the virtual files on the hard drive would be used less.

  • Mix of PC3200 and PC2700 RAM

    Just looking for opinions / facts about a test I'm doing.
    I have a MDD G4 1.25 GHz that has been struggling along with 512MB of PC2700 RAM with Tiger for a few weeks. I recently got a good deal on some used PC3200 RAM and have put one in the machine. ASP reports:
    DIMM0/J21:
    Size: 512 MB
    Type: DDR SDRAM
    Speed: PC2600U-25330
    Status: OK
    DIMM1/J22:
    Size: 512 MB
    Type: DDR SDRAM
    Speed: PC2600U-30330
    Status: OK
    My question is, is it OK to mix this RAM? Given that ASP does not accurately identify the PC2700 and PC3200 type are the last digits accurate? Is it OK to run the 25330 with the 30330? Seems to be working fine in the first 10 minutes ...

    Hi-
    The difference between the 25330 and the 30330 is the CAS latency- 2.5 and 3.0 respectively.
    If you have no problems at boot, I would assume you will have no problems.
    On a G4, typically, mixing latency is not a problem, as long as it is faster than required.

  • PC2700 ram

    I am looking to get new ram for my 800 mhz ibook G4. The apple web site says that I should get PC2100 ram, but also says that it is PC2700 compatible. If I buy the PC2700 will it be any different than the PC2100. Does it really matter?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    Buy what's cheapest. Both will work equally well and run at PC2100 speed.

  • Is this ram compatible?

    Hi guys, I just got my Mini back from Apple, they installed 1 gig. The mini flies now (duo core), only problem is they scratched the **** casing on the top!!
    Anyway, I'm ashamed to ask this question as I should know this but here goes. I have 2 256 megabyte SDRAM sticks leftover, and I was wondering if there is any chance it would work in my G4 iBook (1.33ghz, last model). I know the ram is faster out of the mini, but I'm not sure if it would just "kick down" to the ibook's speed? Thanks
    -Evan

    Hi Evan,
    No, it's not compatible with your iBook. The iBook uses PC2700 and the Mini's is PC5300.

  • EMac RAM compatible with Power Mac G4?

    I am interested in a craigslist auction that is selling RAM pulled from an eMac. All the information given is that he has two 168-pin DIMMs of 128MB and 512MB memory. Will this work with a Power Mac G4/400Mhz/AGP graphics version? It also uses 168-pin memory.
    PowerMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4)   400MHz G4, 64MB RAM, 20GB HDD, AGP Graphics

    Standard RAM for your G4 is 168-pin PC100. Early eMacs used 168-pin PC133 which should be backwards compatible but you need to get assurances. Later eMacs use 184-pin PC2700, same as the later G4 MDDs.
    This RAM vendor's page has a good description of the RAM used in various Mac models. They also have decent prices so compare the price to what the private offering asks.

  • Question re PC2700 RAM

    I know this is a silly question...but here goes...
    How do I tell if my RAM is running at 266MHz or 333MHz?
    System:
    P4 2.4b @ 533MHz FSB
    MSI 645E Max-U
    1x512MB PC2700 DDR333 RAM
    GeForce3 Ti 200 64MB
    SoundBlaster Live 5.1
    Belkin 10/100 NIC
    LG CDR/W
    Maxtor 6GB HDD
    WD 60GB HDD

    Let your bios auto-detect the ram (like it should unless you changed that option) so it will run optimally for you...
    It should also say that it is running at either 266 or 333... 266 = 2100 and 333 = 2700.
    Alternatively you could download a great little program for future reference called 'sandra' and do the memory test etc... sandra is totally free and tells you everything you could ever want to know about your components as well as the diagnosing tests that are included.
    You can download sandra from the offical site here...

    The last component which I still haven't figured out is the RAM.
    As I understand, the 3930k works (best) with 1,35v ram. My question is, will this 1,35v ram work on the Gigabyte mobo, which supports 1,5v memory? Or do I have to adjust something in the Bios in order to make the ram work properly? Or do I have a major problem here?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Any other suggestions on this build are welcome!

    Be certain that you get the correct RAM for your machine (204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM) and get it from a reputable Mac supplier (Crucial, OWC, etc.).

  • Is PC667 RAM compatible with SR5310F?

    I have the original RAM for this machine (2x512MB = 1GB RAM) and would like to upgrade. I have 2 sticks of 1GB PC667 SDRAM that I want to replace it with, but when I boot up, it only shows 1GB of RAM still. Stranger yet, when I press F10 and go into the BIOS, it shows 2 sticks of 512MB RAM installed, and will not detect what is really there.
    Is there a way to get this to work, or is the PC667 1GB RAM module just not compatible?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    It may not be compatible or one module may have failed.
    Always purchase guaranteed compatible memory modules from well known memory manufacturers (Kingston, Crucial, Corsair, G.Skill, Transcend). That way you won't get nasty surprises like modules not operating.
