I know of cheap places to get ram for the G5 but does it neccessarily mean that it is slow RAM?

Where should I look for superfast quality RAM chips for my dual G5?

I know I need DDR PC-3200 DIMMs, but would my G5 scream louder with DDR PC-3500, 3700, 4000 or 4200 DIMMS?

or does it not work that way as it is with PCs?

Specific speed only for G5s or can/should I go faster than PC3500s?

any suggestions?

thanks!

Your machine will not be faster if you put in faster ram then what the spec calls for.

Just get what crucial offers if they have the speed and size that meets your needs.
