Has anybody had success using standard "PC grade" 533Mhz 240 Pin ram in the late 2005 Power Macs? I want to give mine a bit of a boost and being low on funds I was wondering if I really have to buy the proper official stuff from "OWC" or somewhere or could I get away with getting any old stuff on eBay?
Got a tip for us?

Well I don't know much about the quads, but I do know that I have a g5 dual that has pc ram in it just make sure its not high-density
Ahh. I researched this fact now and I now know what to look out for. Thank you.
I've added some used PC RAM in my Quad and haven't seen any issues at all. As long as you don't mix some ECC with Non-ECC, you're good.
