I just maxed out the ram on my G3 to prepare for a Panther upgrade this weekend. I ordered CL2 ram but suspect I recieved CL3. How can I verify this? System profiler just shows slot and size info on a G3. Running 10.2.8. G3 450 B+W.

Thanks

Unfortunately, the B&W's do NOT contain the firmware necessary to fully read all the info from ram spd chips......
