I have 1.5 gigs of RAM in my 733mhz QuickSilver but I am wanting to move up to one of the new MDD. Since I recently bought a PB, my funds are tight to the point I can swing a CPU but really could not fork out for all of the RAM I want right now. I was able to use my left over PC133 RAM in beige G3s but am I out of luck wanting to use some of my QS RAM in the MDD?

The Quicksilver mainboard uses SDR-SDRAM whereas the MDD mainboard uses DDR-SDRAM. You cannot use either in the other mainboard, hence you'll need new RAM for the new PowerMac.
