    I need urgent advice...please...

    I bought a 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM with speed

    DIMM for my 1.67 GHz Aluminum PowerBook G4 but it shows up as a

    PC2-3200S-288

    in the System Profiler. The seller tells me that

    ############################################################################# Apple system profiler has issues properly reading third party memory. It has been this way for some time the memory performs properly but is read wrong. #############################################################################

    QUESTION 1. Could the seller's explanation be correct?

    Doesn't sound right to me. It sounds like you've either got memory that

    Either way I'd return it and find a better vendor.
