All RAM sticks work for Mac?

Mario8672 · 08-16-2006, 01:58 AM

Do all RAM sticks work for the iMac (the new one)? Or do I need special "Mac RAM sticks" ?

Thanks!

I'm quite sure any RAM will work with it. I don't know the speed and all required right off, though. I do beleive my G4 Mini uses standard PC2700...
