RAM for Macs :::

Does anyone know what the fastest RAM the cube can take? [in terms of nanoseconds]....



will it handle 6ns ram? or is it set @ 10ns?



how about the other macs? [g4 powermac, etc.]



supposedly the cube uses 35mm [or less] height ram, aren't they all under 35mm?

    Go to Ramjet for your answers, they have nice detailed product pages.

    For other Macs, check out the pulldown menu at the top.

    thanks for hte link...



    was still wondering about a couple things



    what "ns/nanosecond" does the cube support? (and the other G4's?)



    What does it mean by "apple firmware"? firmware for what?

    The absolute timings don't really have much of a direct impact in this case.



    For a system with a given clock rate, the immediately meaningful measurement unit is clock cycles rather than nanoseconds.



    If you reduce the absolute times, it allows you to operate your RAM at a higher clock rate, but since the Cube doesn't support anything beyond 100MHz, you don't get any benefits from using 6ns RAM rathern standard PC100-222 RAM (8ns I believe).
