Hello. I bought two 512mb pc133 modules for my G4 tower and the machine does not recognize the ram. The ram is rated to 2cls so I thought the ram itself would be plenty fast enough for the G4. Do I have to return this ram and buy apple certified ram or something? Or, do I just need a firmware update?
Thanks
you don't need apple ram. Apple just rebrands ram anyway, they don't make it, they only charge you a whole heck of alot for it. you do need higher quality ram than some vendors supply.
Of course, sometimes ram is just bad, or maybe you zapped them with static electricity. ram almost always comes with a lifetime warranty, so I'd return them and try again. If it still didn't work, I'd judt try a different vendor.
