PowerMac G5 SP 1.8 (2004 Oct.) Memory Upgrade

I've decided to get PM g5 1.8 since my school's computer store sells it pretty cheap.

As far as I remember PM G5 1.6 version had less problem in memory upgrade than other PM G5s. Since PM G5 1.8 (2004 Oct.) is the bottome line of PM G5 now, I was wondering if it would be less picky about memory upgarde.

Any comment or experience?

Thanks

Thanks, but it is too expensive. I am thinking to get 1G from otherworldcomputing.com. This is the cheapest thing I've ever found for G5 RAM.

But, there are a lot of inexpensive good quality memory out there. But, I am afraid that those won't work for G5, and that's why I am asking here.
 
Apple uses Samsung CL3 RAM as OEM (and a couple of others). You can get it from newegg.com. 256=$41 512=$82 1GB=$252

I have 8 256MB modules in my G5. I tried a few other brands, all CL2.5 and had a horrible time.
