Computer in question: G4-450 AGP Sawtooth with OS 10.3

First question: Can I use PC-133 SDRAM in my machine?

I'm looking at buying one piece of 512 MB SDRAM PC-133, 168-pin. Currently I have two PC-100 modules installed (a 128 MB and a 256 MB). Off of one website, I found this (see below), should I be concerned with it?

Whenever PC133 modules are assembled with high density chips, users will have to choose between REGISTERED and NON-REGISTERED options. Registered modules make use of cost effective 4MBX16 TSOPs whereas non-registered modules use the more expensive 16MBX4 TSOPs. Some motherboards will not accept REGISTERED memory modules and users must first download a flash BIOS upgrade from their motherboard manufacturer in order to be able to use the more cost efficient module.

Second question: What's the word on 'AZENRam' and 'Ultra' brand memory?

Anyone have experience with either?

P.S. - I'm new to these forums and this is my first post, so... Hi! :)
 
yes you can use that ram...also, ultra is fine...never heard of azenram before though, so i wouldn't go with that.
