I bet a lot of people here wish that Apple made an iBook with a 133 mhz bus, but alas they dont.

So the answer to your question is obvious, its pc100.

That may not be true. Often, PC133 will be used in a machine with a 100MHz bus because PC100 costs more.

I would like this for my iMac, how much do you want for it?

You can. In fact, I currently have a 256MB PC133 SO-DIMM in my iMac, which has a 100MHz bus. It came from my iBook and will be returned to the iBook when I get it back. The iBook has a 66MHz bus.

Yes, that is true. My g4 iMac has pc133 in it while only having a 100 mhz bus, but sense it came from Apple, I will bet you a shiny penny that its pc 100 :)

I paid $100 for it at Apples website, and I have only had it for 2 days! And $15 shipping is for the guy that lives in Los Angels that wanted to buy it!:p

No thanks. Looking on Pricewatch, I see a PC133 SODIMM for $29 with shipping. While it may not be the same quality as the one you're selling, $99 is a lot for that RAM. By the way, high-quality Crucial RAM is only $52.99...

But come on!! It's Momory. That's worth something. momory must be at least 10x better than standard memory. :D

it doesnt matter if you use pc133 of pc100. because this ram is SDRAM. which stands for syncroness ram(why do i feel i completly spelt that wrong). basically is syncs itself to the bus speed of the computer. if you have a 100 mhz bus, the ram will lower itself. same with a 66mhz bus. this is why people say we dont have macs to take advantage of ddr ram, which is almost double the speed of our fastest bus. but if your ram speed is lower than your bus, the ram speed will lower itself to sync with the speed.
