My new 12" powerbook will arrive tomorrow, I got the older 1.33 combo drive model (rev c). Anyways I have a question, i kno apples are picky about ram.

So the powerbook uses a 333fsb which means I need pc2700. But does apple specify you need CAS 2.5? I picked up a 512MB stick of Kingston PC3200 but its rated at CAS 3.0. I'm assuming apple reads the timings from the SPD on the chip and won't let you set it like many PC's will.

Do you think it would work? Its a 512MB Kingston Value Ram PC3200 SODIMM

It should work fine. Faster memory gets throttled back to the fastest speed the machine can run it at.
