I just upgraded my G3 3500 with 2x8gb Crucial Ballistix 3200 (compatible). When I check the frequency of my newly installed ram it says 2666 instead of 2933.
If you look at the reviews on Crucial's website, there are many complaints about Ballistix RAM in some systems. To run at full speed, it requires a system that has XMP support - which your G3 almost certainly does not.
You may be better off with Crucial's standard RAM.

I got 2x8gb Corsair Vengeance 2933MHz, and it works just fine. Even tested them and got high performances.
Thank you for your time.
