Getting two bad modules in a row is more common than you'd think.... The first thing I would try would be to see if your original RAM works in both slots. If it does, then mostly likely it's the new chips that are goofed. Also, install the new RAM and run the Apple Hardware Test CD that came with your computer. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
