According to this page a CF-18 MK5 takes PC3200 DDR2 memory.

I ordered that from Newegg but got PC4200 DDR2 memory instead. Did they make a mistake or is that a valid substitution?

Does it fit in the slot?
Does it boot?

If it doesn't fit then use a hammer.... That'll help you make it fit!

Felt a little nervous about the hammer, so I used a rubber mallet instead.
Memtest checked out perfect, and now the machine has some nice elbow room.
