[X4U] Ram for G5

[RR]

Crucial is micron-tech's direct sales outlet.  Apple has used 
micron-tech ram in the past and is reported to be currently using them.

Costs less than apple and a better warranty.  They're a little more 
expensive than other vendors but are guaranteed to work in the mac g5.

take a look.
