RAM upgrade for iMac G5 (iSight model)
You want to upgrade your new iMac G5 (iSight) memory?
If you go for Apple Solution it will cost you a lot ?
I did some study on the issue and the buttom line is:
By (ANY) RAM with the following specifications.
PC2-4200 DDR2, 533Mhz, CL4, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, 1.8V, 240pin DIMM
It is recommended though that you get a good brand name like Kingston (See KVR533D2N4/512 and KVR533D2N4/1G). Go to the page below and look for the KVR533D2N4 models (Make sure the number shown here match). The info after / gives the size.

Notes (about Apple page above):
CL4 is the same as saying Latency 4-4-4-12
Non-ECC is the same as saying non-parity
I've already successfully installed additional 1GB of RAM. So this is not theoretical. Apple original RAM is 20% to 40% higher in price. I've checked the original Apple RAM, its the same as Kingston but with a different label .. huh, how smart.
