From now on we will require that a prefix is set for any items in the sales area. We have created regions and locations for this. We also require that you select a delivery option before posting your listing.
This will hopefully help us streamline the things that get listed for sales here and help local people better advertise their items, especially for local only sales.
New sales rules are also coming, so stay tuned.

i have a few sticks of some Apple SDRAM outta a imac g4 you can just have for shipping not sure if thats what you were looking for. Shame you arent local, i have some the stuff you want, and would love one those Apple II mono monitors.
I was looking at PowerMac DIMMs and sure enough, Apple wasn't using industry standard DIMMs for that machine.
I think all the newest Apples just use a standard PC motherboard, CPUs and RAM, they probably just limit users to one or two types of FDDs, HDDs etc. to pretend they're still better than a PC and Windows ... even though Microsoft has been writing the OSes for Apple since the 1990s ... Now days it's all just marketing hype to get higher prices on the same hardware.
Sad, I don't have Apple Mac RAM ... I'm a PC user, so I don't have access to anything Apple.
LOL. What kind of fever dream did you have to come up with this.
The closest Apple ever got to standardizing was the Beige G3 in 1997, when they tried to somewhat follow the ATX standard with the motherboard and PSU. When Steve Jobs returned in 1998/1999 he killed that initiative the moment he walked into the door and Apple went right back to being completely proprietary, and they have ever since.
There is no such thing as an Apple with a standard PC motherboard, there never was, and there never will be. Apple hasn't been in the desktop space in decades, they almost entirely concentrate on Macbooks and iPhones, with their few super high end workstations being few and far between.
Apple's hardware is so proprietary that they designed and built their own CPU.

Again, what are you even talking about. Mac SSW was originally entirely developed by Apple in secret. Microsoft had no knowledge of it in the beginning, nor did they have anything to do with the subsequent releases. Anything not made by Apple was bought from the Apple community. By the time OS 9 came around, more of the OS was third party code from independent developers than Apple itself. Apple was forced to go on a tech buying spree in the 90s, because the company had no direction at the time and was being threatened by Windows 95/98 as their failed "Copland" OS dragged on for years and eventually was cancelled.
I have compact macs (SE dual floppy and SE/30), and I would love Apple II monitors, but logistics and shipping probably aren't something I'm willing to deal with since I'm in the Midwest.

Um, what?!? Apple never left the desktop market. They've been selling iMacs for over 20 years and Mac Minis for almost 20. These are not "super high end workstations". Those are the Mac Pro and Mac Studio.
I think what was confusing wperko was Apple's Intel era. During that time they used many of the same off-the-shelf components used in Windows PCs. Same Intel CPUs, same RAM modules, same drive interfaces (although there were some proprietary ones also). But they weren't ever using "a standard PC motherboard".
My definition of desktop and your definition of desktop are not the same. The iMac is a glorified monitor with a weak and non-upgradeable computer inside it. The Mac Mini is a failed multimedia machine that is also non-upgradeable. When I talk about desktops, I mean towers or desktop cases of old.
Apple HAS abandoned this market decades ago. Their "Mac Pro" is a joke and a slap in the face to their power users. Their current top of the line Mac Pro that they sell right now on their website uses a CPU line that is 4 years old and is soundly defeated in almost every category by CPUs released even two years ago. The slap in the face is Apple selling four year old tech for $13,000, which is JUST the base price for the 28 core model. If you want more, be prepared to pay up to $55,000 for JUST the machine. The monitor is another $1600-$5000.
Their last Mac Pro, the 2013 trash can maintained the same spec for almost 6 years without change and with no appreciable price reduction, even long after it was soundly defeated in performance long before that point.
