Probably it's running hotter? It appears your Mini has two RAM slots, so if you had a single 1GB stick, and added a 2nd, it'd only make sense that it runs a little hotter. It could be you inadvertently moved sometime that affected the fan? I have a G4 Mini that's overclocked to 1.58GHz, but I boot from external HDs so it's never runs hot and the fan is never loud. I've noticed that if I boot from the internal HD the fan immediately runs louder, so the G4 Mini fan is very heat sensitive. I wish my Time Capsule fan was as sensitive, it seems to get to "melt down" temps and I hear nothing, barely any air moving, and what I feel is HOT. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
