Should PC133 RAM from a DA 733 G4 Mac work in a 466 G4 Mac (PC100)?

I have been having problems with the RAM in the 733 G4 and tried testing it in a 466 G4 but it simply fails to boot (no video) after the boot chime in the 466.

The 466 MHz Power Mac is also PC133 as well (with the 133 MHz system bus). So, yes it will work.

Sorry, looking at the back panel of the Mac, it is a 450 MHz G4 not 466. Didn't this use PC100 and should Mac PC133 work in it?

I had a 450 and PC133 worked just fine.

133 is the max speed of the ram, it can operate at 133 or any slower speed. So you should be good.

Now that the question is answered and the thread is effectively dead, thanks for livening it up again with that tip Moderator--I'll remember it!
