Different G5s take different types of RAM. You need to tell us what model of G5 you have. If you don't know which type exactly, you can give us the info we need via System Profiler. Either of the info types below will tell us enough.
Click on the Hardware category at the very top. Give us the Name, Model, # of CPUs, and CPU Speed.
And/or click on the Memory section. Note how many slots it shows, and select one of the slots that has RAM in it. We need to know the "Type" and "Speed" info for the RAM stick.

The dual G5's are notoriously picky about ram. You got the right specs, just make sure that where ever you buy it has good return policies!

Get a matched pair from a name brand vendor and you'll be fine.

Btw, when you install your RAM, make sure you've got it facing the right direction so that the dimple in the module lines up with the middle keyed portion of the slot. Slide the RAM in between the guides, then apply even pressure. One side will probably go in first, then press down on the other side until you feel the click.

Sure they do, but not on the system-specific page.
