Additional small items of consideration to throw on the pile when sorting through appropriate memory for your mac aside from bus speed:
1. CAS Latency (CL) - look at the original memory that came with the mac for a reference [ex. 4 - 3 - 3 - 4, or 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 ... abbrev. as CL4]
2. Low density vs. High Density (yes, some macs are sensitive to this in my experience.
-
3. And of course, for anyone new to memory selection... the obvious ECC/ Non-ECC and Registered/Unregistered to consider. G5's do readily accept ECC (as long as you're not mixing the two -- I've tried it in the past to test it out, and it degrades performance with mixed ECC/Non-ECC in G5's
