Joy,
There are probably a number of ways to test RAM but I like a program
called RAMometer. It is part of Newer Tech's Gauge Pro group of
programs, and is a free download from Version Tracker here <http://
www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/15583&vid=61005>
After you download and install RAMometer, remove all of the RAM chips
except your original 64MB chip, which is your "known good" one. Then
add one of the four new chips. Then launch RAMometer and let it do
its thing. Overnight is always good, but you can run it anytime.
Let it run for at least 1000 passes/cycles. If you get any errors
the chip is not suitable for use. Errors are never acceptable.
However, removing and reseating a chip that caused an error is
usually a good idea.
Test each of your four new chips that way (alone with the 64MB chip)
To be thorough I always put all the newly tested ones in together and
run the test again on them as a group.
