Not just any. My buddy had a G4 and bought some cheap ram off e*bay that worked in an old PC but was not compatible with his Powermac. Best to check that it is Mac compatible.
Only thing you can do is put in there and try booting it. If it works it is good, if not then it is not.
Agreed with Nameci. You can't hurt the computer with this method.
Please take note that these machines are very picky about RAM. Low density, PC-100/133 SDRAM. I have the powermac G4 that precedes yours, the "Yikes" which is a PCI graphics.
I believe for PC-133 it should be CL3 3-2-2 or PC-100 CL2 2-2-2...
Congratulations! Now you are on the road to become a weekend tinkerer, or you are already?
Macs are Personal Computers. They use a lot of the same things in the same ways.
They just cost 10x more

Ah that would be a another discussion thread. Anyway, it is just a pity the machine is limited to 2GB max on the memory because of the firmware. I have seen 1GB sticks of PC-100 SDRAM. If it has 4 slots, 4 x 1GB sticks can be installed, would it still be read as 2GB or the mem controller would not read all?
