I have an iBook G4 933 MHz. Ordered a 512 Mb RAM module from a
company's website, by clicking their choice saying "APPLE iBook G4
800/933/1GHz". On the next screen it said "PowerBook G4 Titanium".
This is Kingston RAM, part no. KTA-PBG4266/512. It says on the
packaging that it is equivalent to Apple M9002G/A
But when inserted into my iBook, it made it crash and crash. Sometimes
it booted alright, but then mouse freeze after maybe 10 seconds. Once I
got to open Apple System Profiler, which reported "DIMM 1/J31 512 Mb
DDR SDRAM PC2100U-25330". If I tried opening System preferences, it
crashed horribly with Windoze-like error-messages filling the screen
destroying the GUI. Switching back to the original RAM-stick my machine
performs perfectly again.
Is this really the right kind of RAM? Have I just been unlucky and got
a bad unit? Thought Kingston was a quality brand.
( My original 128 Mb memory from Apple has chips only on the under
side, whereas Kingston has chips on both sides. There are stickers on
the Kingston RAM with following numbers: 9905195-016.A00 and
1890223-0260534 )
