The question-- they recommended that I buy pc133-- they said it would be a little faster??? Any comments about this. Interestingly they also recommended Viking or Edge, but when I got their sticks for a premium price--they had no indication of manufacturer. I think I was taken in--but the Pismo works great.
On the PC 133 I am sticking my neck out here a bit because you have the G4 550 upgrade, but I do not think you will get a speed bump out of it. It may work in the Pismo just fine but I have never seen it posted or read that PC 133 will give you more horsepower in the stock Pismo then the PC100. jmo
Viking and Edge or both "named" brands and the sticks I have seen the Viking sticker is on there. I have not come across and Edge brand stick. So they may have whacked you a bit on price and played a bit loose with the name.
However, you did buy all these upgrades from them, so the real advantage is if anything goes wrong they can not come back and say your no name brand ram messed up the G4 upgrade. So if you paid a bit more, I think you bought yourself some insurance for that G 4 upgrade.
If you can go to the link below and give a report of how things went with the G4 upgrade, it will help others make a choice. Post the PC 133 question, and put the ram situation in there too, you will get better answers then I can give and if indeed the ram was a bait and switch these reports will help stop this practice, if indeed it was a switcheroo on the ram.

So John sit back and enjoy the pismo. Mine have been great, a litle problem with Apple Care on one but Apple is going to really have to work and come out with a speed demon to get my pismo away and buy a new one. I think it's there best lap top. Then who cares what I think
Be well
