A) Yes, it can

here's the proof

B) It's called Kingston, not Kensington

.....its good in quality, one of the most expensive brand though

Oops yeah I knew that, my mistake. Can you make a recommendation of anything of great quality but cheaper?

OWC

then go to the special page.

512MB PC133 CL3 DIMM is now 49.75

They do have CL2 base PC133 512MB DIMM too...but cost more ($55 I think)

Damn, that's a boat load of ram.
I have 768 in my new Dual 800.
I should max it out too. But, I can't justify it since I don't really need it.
I have a dockload of running apps, and not one pageout in over 48 hours of uptime:

PhysMem: 62.2M wired, 131M active, 511M inactive, 704M used, 63.9M free
VM: 2.94G + 55.0M 12512(0) pageins, 0(0) pageouts

So, I don't really see a point in stuffing more ram in there....maybe when iDVD2 comes out (too lazy to reboot into 9

) and I start burning dvds I will need more.

I have 1.5GB total.

Under OS 9 even I have ALL apps running I still have 200-300MB left unused
