I have some 'spare' RAM from my 17 rev.a PowerBook that I would like to give to a friend that has just bought the G5 iMac. I would love to know if the RAM is OK for the G5 iMac. Both are DDR 184 pins, PowerBook is DDR2300 333MHz, iMac´s one is DDR3200 400MHz.

Thanks in advance.

The powerbook 17" uses 200 pin PC2700 SO-DIMM

The iMac uses 184 pin PC3200 DIMM

So to answer your question, no, they are not compatible, neither in speed nor in form factor.

Oh, my fault, I can not understand where I get the PB RAM being 168 pins.

Thanks for your input.
