    Crucial's memory program says I need this

    200-pin SODIMM, DDR2 PC2-6400 256Meg x 64


    is the 256x64 important for it to work on a mac? For the windows machines to the best of my knowledge it makes no difference what so ever.

    Do I need to be concerned about the 256x64?

    128x8 seems to be another popular memory configuration.

    I'm looking at getting 2 2GB sticks to fill it up at 4GB.

    I dont think its anything to worry about; from what I can tell, the 256x64 is just the depth(Mb) and width. I think it should be fine
