PC2-5300 is actually faster than 4200. Memory can slow itself for
the buss but can never speed itself up to match a buss speed.
I also am not sure that they sell PC2-4200 memory much anymore. Most
of what I see starts at 5300 and it is relatively cheap.

I was looking at upgrading the memory for my wife's 1.67GHz
PowerBook G4. Crucial recommends DDR2 PC2-5300, while OWC and DMS
both have the DDR2 PC2-4200, which is the type of the memory that is
in her computer now.
Does anyone know why this variation is OK?
I don't know how it would come out including shipping costs, but
Crucial's price was as good or better than the others.
