Please note, however, that some RAM modules are "switchable" in that
they are capable of toggling their speeds based on the requirements the
hardware imposes on them. I was very concerned when two 512s I bought
from OWC showed up in System Profiler as PC100-3225, but a call to the
vendor assured me that they were indeed running at PC133 speeds and I
have not experienced any RAM-related crashes (or any other kind either)
since I installed them a couple of months ago (1.47 GHz / 1.5 GB G4).

Bull***, Oh how it would be nice if Usenet Posters actually KNEW what
they pontificate about.....

Ram Speed doesn't "Switch" it is a HARDWARE Propagation Time designed
into the Ram chips when they are built. If you have PC100 Chips
they WILL function at PC100 Speeds. If you have PC133 Chips, they will
function at PC133 speeds, as well as ANY Slower Speed. What the Module
says it is, is programmed into a separate memory location, on board
the module, and read during Memory Initialization.
