My parents have an iMac circa 2007. Documentation says that this model should use this type of RAM:
Memory: DDR2 PC2-5300
Memory Type: DDR2 PC2-5300, DDR2 (non-ECC)
Maximum Memory: 4GB
I've got a couple of 2GB RAM chips lying around that I just pulled from my "new" iMac. The info on the chips reads:
2GB 1Rx8 PC3
Will these work in my parent's iMac, or am I just asking for trouble?
Thanks!

No.
Those new iMacs are using DDR3, and it won't even fit.
DDR2 are pretty cheap right now, you can get some off the Internet.
