I have found the B&W G3 to be a bit pickier about PC100 and PC133 RAM than the Sawtooths but all the random sticks of PC100 RAM I have in my office run in my Rev 1 B&Ws.

I just stuck four 64MB PC100 DIMMs in a Rev1 last week for a client and all of them worked. That B&W is running OS 10.4.3.


In Belgium/ Europe, apple memory is more expensive and even Apple dealers try the cheapest solution ...

I believe most of the memory I'm using came from other Apple G3s and G4s but some is from generic sources and almost all has worked well for me. I have had a few more problems using the same PC100 RAM in B&Ws than in Sawtooth G4s but to be fair, we have had problems with the same RAM in PCs of the same era. The problems are not Mac-specific.

I heard about Imac G5/powermac G5 that were sold with memory that didn't run stable ...

This does happen from time to time but also happens on the PC side. It is not an excuse - all computers should come with RAM which works but no industry delivers products which are 100% problem-free. The latest Consumer Reports surveys indicate that Apple hardware is the most dependable in the industry.

I'm so tired of this situation that I'm thinking of PC hardware ... to run linux.. of course ...

PC hardware makes more sense to run linux as it is less expensive and you have more choices.
