Summary: This is the chip for the iMac 17" G4 1 GHz
Review: If you own an iMac G4 1 GHz with 17" monitor, this it the correct memory upgrade. Please note that the iMac has 2 memory slots, but only one of them is accessible by the consumer. This is the memory chip that you CAN install. Installation is very fast and simple - 5 minutes max! Plug the keyboard, mouse, printer, iPod, and power it back up and your iMac will scream with speed!

Summary: Good Value on 512MB RAM for a PowerBook G4 1GHz 12"
Review: If you're not sure if this is the right part for your computer, check Viking's Memory Configurator at www.vikingcomponents.com. As other reviewers have noted, I found this item will also fit the iMac 17" 1GHz. It is also specified for the iBook G4 800MHz - 1Ghz models.
I purchased this memory here for less than half of what the Apple Store asks for their 512MB memory upgrade for my PowerBook and about 30% cheaper than I could find this same Viking part from any other vendor. Six days (including a weekend) and 1800 miles, by ground, later and I had installed the component without a hitch(per the instructions in my computer's Getting Started booklet). It came well packaged for the trip.
So far, everything is good. The PowerBook is much snappier now and seems to disk cache noticeably less.

Summary: No problem
Review: installing this memory.I purchased this item thru Amazon on Nov 20 and it was delivered on the 24th.I installed it in about 15 minutes,( it took me longer than that to find my phillips head screwdriver), and had 768mb of ram.Nice.Another reviewer said to apply pressure when snapping the module in place,and he's right.Be careful,but don't be timid.This is a great way to soup-up an already fast computer.I'm happy.

Summary: It's a go
Review: The previous reviewer calls it right: this is the chip for the iMac 17" flat-panel 1 Ghz, and at a considerable discount to the price at Apple Store. If you haven't installed one, here's a tip. Since the numbers on the chip don't match those on this site or in the Mac literature, you might suspect you were sent the wrong item, especially when it doesn't seem to fit in the user's slot. Not to worry. The solution, I've discovered, is to apply some muscle to the chip, wedging it in as far as it will go. (The instructions said nothing about the use of force.) After I had performed this procedure, my computer registered the presence of the additional memory.Is it worth it? Well, for one, the machine is booting up in at least half the time.

Summary: Defective products
Review: Viking has so far twice sent me a defective module. I called their phone number to check the part number for my computer because Amazon doesn't clearly state which models work with which computers. However, the first module didn't fit into my computer. Amazon takes no responsibility for Viking's errors, so you must enter Viking's web site for returns. It took two web visits and a phone call to convince Viking to pay for the return shipping. The new memory finally arrived, and it was defective -- the computer only reads half of the memory, so the process starts again. I'd strongly recommend against Viking and against purchasing their products via Amazon.
