Two quick questions:

1) Will the memory from my (now dead) Dell Inspiron 8200 (PC2100) work in the Powerbook? I see that the Powerbook likes PC2700 ...

2) Where is the cheapest place to get a good 1GB chip. I see crucial wants like $360+ for it. Ouch.

- PowerMac G5 - Dual 2.0 Ghz, 3GB, Soundsticks!,
- Lenovo Thinkpad T510 (also a work laptop), Win 7 Enterprise, 8GB, 320GB HDD

1) No. PC2100 is too slow for your machine. You need at least PC2700 SO-DIMM.

2) Don't know, but I always check out http://www.dealram.com.

Wow .... the 1GB chip is over $200 cheaper ($150) on DealRam ....

Certainly there must be SOME other difference, no?

I'm so ordering if it is indeed equivalent.

Will do ... thanks again.

I think y'all saved me a bit of money. I'll buy a round of drinks if we ever get together. :-)
