RAM needed by serial number

[kareneegan]

Having trouble finding the right RAM for the flwg:

Mac G.5 Power Mac 11.2
Serial # G86104U3UV1

Have purchased 2GB PC-2-5300 DDR2 DE & 2 RAM-DDR2-1024 and neither worked.

thank you.

Serial number is irrelevant. Tried Googling?

Your G5 should be using PC4200.
The serial number would help the clerk at the Apple store because from it he/she can get the year of mfg., which is important.
Upgrading RAM for Macs is tricky, but I have narrowed down 6 choices that will allow you to check your compatibility against. You have the specs there with you; should be easy. Nice thing about Newegg is, if it's wrong you can return it. Just be careful not to mix ECC and non-ECC. Some came with it and some didn't and it was a mess!
