Should be, as long as the physical size allows insertion of the module into the 600X. I believe that some of the Apple PC100 SODIMMs were of a "taller" dimension (about 50mm).

This is confusing. The supposedly low denisty memory is described as low density in the text but is clearly photgraphed (see bottom) as high density memory: http://cgi.ebay.com/256MB-Apple-iMac-Po ... 18Q2el1247

Verify from the seller. Some sellers usually post a file photo, and not the actual item. I encountered one recently in which the seller advertised a 20gb drive while the photo is 10gb.

OK, I contacted this seller, and the photo was correct, and the description has now been changed, so KTA-PBG3S/256 and APPLE-256MB-PC100-SO are not low density memory.

The only problem is that KTA-PBG3S/256 is clearly low density as offered for sale here http://cgi.ebay.com/One-256MB-PC100-SDR ... wItem[url] and now sold.

I am thoroughly confused at this point. Perhaps KTA-PBG3S/256 and APPLE-256MB-PC100-SO are not the same thing, despite what the first site claims.

And my specific question, now moot, is whether KTA-PBG3S/256 would work in a 600X. For the sake of posterity, anyone have experience with this?

Thanx.
