The 2nd line reads:
512MB 64x64 PC133 CL2

What does this fit into? The guy I bought it from said it would fit into my iBook and I didn't ask for pictures 'cause I assumed he would know, but when I got it I noticed it was too tall. I know this sized RAM fits into the first iMacs, but I don't know that they support 512 MB. So can someone list which Macs they fit into? Also, what's the actual name for this sized RAM? How do I find out what brand it is? Is it just generic?

[edit: I think it's Apple branded. The font on the label on the static proof bag is Apple Garamond. It's the warning about removing the label on the RAM voiding the warranty. Any way to verify this?]

I upped my Rev A iMac to 256 and used a chip that big.... Do Rev A's take 512 chips (could you bump a rev A to 1Gb with two 512's? If so I may be willing to take it off your hands if the price is right.

It'll work in a Wallstreet, Pismo, Lombard, tray-load CRT iMac, and possibly in the upper slot of an early flat-panel iMac.

This is a "high profile" SO-DIMM. It has the same pin-configuration as a "low-profile" SO-DIMM, which is required for the iBooks, and it would otherwise WORK with the old iBooks, but Im pretty sure it doesn't physically fit in the available space.
