Since I was unable to complete a successful trade (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=90694) for my RAM, I decided to go ahead and order myself another chip. Since that has left me with the extra Apple RAM, I've decided to go ahead and sell it here on MacRumors. The RAM will work in the iMac G5, the PowerMac G5 (must be installed in pairs), and any PC that accepts DDR400 DIMMs.

My Apple DIMM is DDR400/PC3200, 512MB, made by Micron with a CAS latency of 3, and has little memory chips on both sides. As it has been working great in my iMac for two weeks, and successfully passed both the quick and extended tests performed by the Apple Hardware Test CD, I can guarantee that it will not be dead on arrival. If it is, you can return it for a full refund (you'll need to cover return shipping), and I will deal with the insurance claim with the USPS. I can make no promises about whether or not the chip will get your iMac G5's memory bus to run at 128 bits, as there have been too many conflicting reports on what exactly will get the RAM to run as "matched."

The RAM I ordered is expected to arrive by the end of business on Tuesday. Since I don't really want to bother opening my iMac more than once, I plan on pulling the Apple chip out on Tuesday evening and can ship it as early as Wednesday.

I'm looking for offers on the Apple RAM, and the person making the best offer as of Tuesday evening will get the Apple DIMM. I've actually already received an offer of $100, so please don't offer me anything less than that. Payment can be made using PayPal, or by US Postal Money Order only, and I will only ship in the United States.

Please private message me or email me with any questions, or to make me an offer.

Tell me if this would work with my IMAC G5?
Mine is 1 week old and I ordered it with 512 installed.
Could this double it ( I am quite green)

OK, so I've had some people back out on this at the last minute, so the RAM is still available. If your are interested in the RAM, please feel free to send me a private message.

Sorry, everyone. I'm going to have to temporarily take this RAM off the market. The memory I got from Crucial to replace it turned out to be defective, so now I'm going through the exchange process. It will probably be at least 10 days before I get my replacement RAM.

If you want to make offers in the mean time, feel free, but the RAM won't be available for shipping until I get the replacement chip from Crucial.

I'll post another update here when the Apple RAM is available again.
