PC3200 RAM..Will it work?

I need to know if PC3200 RAM will work in a G3 B&W, specfically pc3200u-30330 RAM. I don't know much about ram, will it just drop down to PC133 speed or not work at all?

No, those models only take 168pin PC100 SDRAM, but PC133 SDRAM will work fine as well. PC133 is generally cheaper if you're going to buy either one.

ya, another ehMac member had some forsale from his G5 and i thought it wouldn't work, but then a friend said it might. so i thought I'd check with you guys and that confirms it. He has a good deal though-4 256 sticks of the above mentioned ram for $80 shipped.
