Today, I recieved a 512 stick of kingston value ram. The ram is working flawlessly under 10.3.5. However, the ram crashes the system at any other version of panther! Anyways, long story short, I learned that OSX is very picky with ram and certain modules, even the ones that are recommended, may not work with certain versions. I hope this ram works though.. so cheap!

i only ever go for crucial ram, however i have heard people say the more "value ram" that is available, for example ebuyers value ram, has very good results.

This RAM from Kingmax is working fine in my iBook.

Getting cheap RAM will cost you more in the long run. I bought my ex a 256MB stick for $40 for her iBook, and eventually she had to throw it out because it went bad and prevented her machine from sleeping. It's better to just go with Crucial from the beginning.

Kingston's "Valueram" is a good product. We're running a 512MB Kingston ValueRAM module in my wife's iBook (G4-800MHz), and it's great. The problem is that some iBooks are very picky in their RAM timing, so they need RAM that's precisely on spec. Most RAM is "pretty darn close," and that's good enough most of the time.

This is an issue that's been brought up more than once here, and the consensus seems to be that if one module doesn't work-even though it is the part the vendor recommends-that you should return it and get it replaced.
