Ok so I have these 2 old 600mhz G3 iBooks that I got cheap but alas they came with only the standard 128mb RAM installed. I'd like to max out the RAM which means purchasing a 512mb stick and these are the specifications for it (from Crucial):-
512MB, 144-pin SODIMM, SDRAM, PC133 memory module
CT234088
Module Size: 512MB
Package: 144-pin SODIMM
Feature: SDRAM, PC133
Specs: SDRAM, PC133 CL=3 Non-parity 133MHz 3.3V 64Meg x 64
Now if I look on ebay (UK) for some in the Mac section the cost is about £30 but if I look in the non-Mac laptop section, I can get some with the same specs for half the price.
My question is, is there any difference that the specs don't show that means the iBooks will reject the cheaper RAM as I know that Macs can be fussy with memory upgrades or should I save myself some cash and go for the cheaper RAM as essentially, it's the same anyway?
Thanks in advance.
