Which type do I use in my G3 Beige DT?

What exactly, is the difference?

Does PC 133 or PC 100 make a difference?

Thx... MP

I'm assuming you have the "Grossamer" series. According to Crucial (http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.asp?Mfr%2BProductline=Apple%2BPower+Mac&mfr=Apple&cat=RAM&model=Power+Mac+G3+Desktop+Rev.3++Gossamer+%28Beige%29&submit=Go), I'd use PC100 and non-ECC.

ECC is for error correction, and is mainly used in servers.
