Then we tried it on other iMAC G5s in the store... same problem.
I said "fuck it" and bought RAM from Apple directly. No problems anymore.
Weird. That's the first time it's happened.
But, like I said, I love Macs enough to have purchased 4 of them this year and will be purchasing a 5th for my fiance for Christmas.

That is odd. Because architecture wise, the memory is the same... or at least should be.
But punkworld had a good point:
The 256MB upgrade costs $100 at apple's site, while the same module costs about $40 at newegg.
