PowerBook running the old OS just fine but choking on the new
version. My RAM passed all tests - even when I took it into the
shop and had the tech run Apple's diagnostics. But when we stuck a
new stick in the machine ran just fine, thank you. We saw a lot of
this at the shop with the Panther upgrade, not so much with Tiger,
mostly Jag people who skipped Panther. But we have seen it.
Yes, OWC should replace it without problem.
Very interesting. Last night I moved the RAM from the lower to the
upper slot and I think it's running better. A few more days of use
should tell. But I think my next step would be to contact OWC
concerning a RAM swap. Thanks for the advice!

I just remembered, these models have had a rash of lower ram slot
failures about 6 months ago. There was a report on the macfixit site.
