[G4] Ram ?

[gifutiger]

All of my RAM was purchased at different times and are from different  
manufactures.
3 each 512Mb SDRAM DIMMs all different, 1 each 256Mb SDRAM DIMM, total  
1.75Gb
The only minor problem that I've had is that one of the SDRAM DIMMs  
doesn't alway like to work Okay in one of the slots, which was solved  
by moving it to a different location.
