First, some reading for your quiet pleasure in quiet moments.

Second, in four of my slotloading iMacs I have from 128 to 512MB cards. PC133-333 SDRAM paired in one (Tiger); PC133-333/PC100-322 (Panther); PC133-333 paired (Panther), and PC133-333/PC100-222 (Panther). In another, under Jaguar, ASP is not analytical enough to tell me what speed the two 512MB cards are. Neither do I remember what the only trayloader (Panther) has, and ASP cannot divine it. No KPs, not never ever in nearly seven years.

Nonetheless, I commend to you the thought that chip density on the RAM cards is more likely to give you tummy-ache than is access speed. Make sure that on no card are the chips denser than 128Mb (yes, megabits) for 128 and 256MB. This means 16 chips on a 256MB card. Only with 128MB and below can you get away with only 8 chips, of not more than 64Mb each. Cards with four or two chips only on one or both sides have to be looked at with a jaundiced eye.
