Yet another question on memory expansion for the G5.This one is really cool

I currently own a G5 2Ghz (8 DIMM sockets model) that I would like to add memory to. I have done my research (in this forum and elsewhere) and have found that what I need is DDR400 SDRAM (PC3200) memory.
Now here the 2 questions:
(1) Must I expand in pairs (i.e. must I for example add 2*512, or can I go with 1*1GB), and
(2) Are there differences between PC memory and Apple memory modules that disqualify installing PC memory modules (with the same specifications as required, i.e. DDR400 SDRAM (PC3200)) into an Apple? I ask the question b/c PC memory modules are cheaper than their Apple counterparts but both have the same specifications (I compared PC and Apple memory modules on www.crucial.com). I can't shake the idea that differentiating PC and Apple memory modules is only a marketing sham.
All insight into the matter is welcome.
Cheers,
G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I have the 2 x 1GB in this March 04 DP2 - no problems - so far.
As OS X seems to get more picky about RAM with each update, you may wish to consider the importance of a no-quibble guarantee...

  • MAC QUESTION--I'm looking for the toggle button for thumbnails

    MAC QUESTION--I'm looking for the toggle button that use to be on the bottom right of desktop folders to increase and decrease the size of the thumbnails.  Does this still exist?

    Glad you got it going. I'm in Thumbnail mode most of the time in my Finder, so I didn't notice that the slider isn't there in others. I'm running Yosemite as well and I'm happy this feature has been kept.
    Thanks for letting me know

  • How many memory is used for the process of one connection?

    Hi,
    how many memory is used for the process of one connection in unix
    when the user connects to the database?
    Thanks,

    Write some queries using v$sesstat, v$statname, v$session to find the statistics for different stats. Query name from v$statname and find whatever you wants. I don't think there is a common rule that tells how much memory will be used for each connection, it depends on different factors like , resources available, type of databases, database memory settings etc.
    Example query.
    select s.osuser osuser,s.serial# serial,se.sid,n.name,
    max(se.value) maxmem
    from v$sesstat se,
    v$statname n
    ,v$session s
    where n.statistic# = se.statistic#
    and n.name in ('session pga memory','session pga memory max',
    'session uga memory','session uga memory max')
    and s.sid=se.sid
    group by n.name,se.sid,s.osuser,s.serial#
    order by 2

  • After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

    The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
    PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:

    Kindly inform any email id or toll free number to contact apple for your below answer, Mr.King_Penguin

    It should be within a few days, but it might vary a bit by bank/provider :
    I am in India, if the bank don't refunds , what to do?
    Rajagopal.pngr :-  It is only a holding charge, it is not a permanent charge. If it isn't refunded within a few days or so (and it quite possibly won't be over a weekend) then you can query the charge with Apple.

    Hello
    On my flash, I already have those parameters in place.
    I don't think there would be any security issues however, since I have used a player .swf which loads from the media site and plays the videos without a problem.
    http://www.iongeo.com/channelguide_test_dev/
    click on the four images at the bottom of the screen to see how it works.
    Now, I am pretty much doing the same thing, but this time embedding the other swf to load the videos.  As I mentioned, I was able to do this when everything was on our server, but now there is an issue for some reason when I try to load the .flv into the .swf from the other media server.

    Why is Apple TV movie rentals to expensive? 
    I love my Apple TV, but I can go down the street and get 4 Movies at Redbox for the price of one rental on Apple TV.
    Apple should reduce the price of movies rentals to $1.00!!!

    Forgive me if my solution to your problem is oversimplistic, but if the movies are too expensive for you, don't buy them.
