If they goof, they should even pay shipping.The Mac mini with separate screen is still a neat package Apple
Be sure your memory source knows this - or at least has a policy of no hassle, no penalty returns if what they send you does not work.
They sent me two sample 1GB DIMMS that are compatible with the iMac G5. We learned from that not all PC3200 memory is compatible with the iMac G5. The power light commenced to flash on and off. When we powered up, it gave a couple of steady tones and refused to boot (black screen). We pulled a couple of DIMMS out and stuck them in the iMac G5. We had some PC3200 memory to spare since we were running 8 DIMMS in our G5/2.0GHz MP Power Mac. NOT JUST ANY PC3200 400MHZ DDR MEMORY WILL WORK IN THE iMAC G5 The spacing between the DIMMS is so tight in the iMac G5, that memory with heatsinks will not fit without stressing the sockets. Then later, when you can afford it, buy another 1GB DIMM and give away the 256MB DIMM to a local school or church who unwittingly bought their iMac G5s with minimum factory configuration. It should cost the same as two 512MB DIMMs (depending on who you buy from). Since it comes with one 256MB DIMM, I suggest you add at least one 1GB DIMM. In fact, unless we had 1.25GB or more in the iMac G5, it would not render all 300 frames of our Motion template. Did you know that just booting OS X gobbles up over 500MB? If you run apps like Photoshop and Motion, both are memory hungry. Whether you use one stick or two, matched pair or mis-matched, the more memory in your iMac G5, the less thrashing it has to do on the virtual memory hard drive scratch area. WHETHER PAIRS MATCH OR NOT, BUY AS MUCH MEMORY AS YOU CAN AFFORD As you can see, zero gain overall by using matched pairs. The gains or losses shown in each application above are within the "margin of error," as they say in the political polling biz. THE REAL WORLD VERDICT: AVERAGING 8 TESTS, NETS 0% GAIN FROM MATCHED PAIRS.
