This part could just be due to the macintosh checking all that memory... On startup, macs are kinda smart in the fact that they actually go through all of your RAM to make sure everything is in working order. This didn't take all that long in the days of 64 megs being the norm, or even 128... But when you start getting up to 768-1.5gig, it can really delay the startup process. If your machine has been running long enough that you're pretty sure the ram you have is fine, you can turn the memory checker off by holding down the apple key and the option key while you double click the memory control panel... You'll see the option to turn it off. :) -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
