More ram for Intel 20" C2D
I'm looking to increase the ram on my machine, and have this offer from an online wholesaler - can anyone confirm this is the correct type for my Mac? Would appreciate any inputs
Corsair VSA2GSDSKIT667D2 2GB KIT APPLE/MAC PC-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 RAM, 2x
128MBx64non-ECC, 200-pin SODIMM, Unbuffered, CL5, Compatible with MacBook,
MacBook Pro, iMac (Intel) for $130.

Most of the code number seems to conform to the 1Gb stick, but there's a couple of identifiers that make me confused.

Any help appreciated

Yes that's correct and the same memory I bought for $109 (although it did go back upto $127 after I got it). Guess I got it at the right time

EDIT: It's exactly the same kit I bought, so all sweet. Working perfectly fine here and it's the correct memory cause of the important bits like;

667Mhz
SO-DIMM 200pin
PC-5300
DDR2

That is a 2GB *Kit*. Which means it is actually two 1GB sticks, not a single 2GB one.

That's totally correct. As you wouldn't buy a single 2GB chip for that price.. it's closer to $200 per chip for 2GB sodimms.

Appreciate the prompt advice - I just ordered! I've replaced ram in my previous iMac G5, so I suppose the process is identical?

Look at the PDF docs that come with the machine, it has the process on how to do it. Those docs are in umm "Macintosh HD" -> "User Guides and Information" Folder.
