My eMac has 384MB of RAM. According to the manual, the memory specs are as follows:
  • Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM)
  • 3.3 volt (V)
  • Unbuffered
  • 64-bit wide, 168-pin module
  • PC-133 compliant
Is this not just standard 168-pin memory?
Is this Mac specific memory?

I do not want to pay extra money for mac memory if I can get regular memory that works too.

Ideas?
 
Thank you for this.

Is 168-pin memory specific to Mac? Mine on my pc is 186-pin.
 
Thank you for the explanation. You would think by my username that I would have known that. D'Oh!! Anyway, so older pcs and some macs use 168-pin. This gives me more options for buying memory. This store wanted to charge me $80/512MB chip. I can get is for as low as $50 on newegg.com
 
I hear you, but you cannot trust ebay with things like memory. Computer parts need to be purchased from trusted sources and I do not trust ebay at all. Too many thieves.
 
I have ebay ram in my computers. No big deal.

Isn't there something about eMac memory is supposed to be low density or something? Mine is an old 700mhz. The second and third edition eMacs may be different.
