Hiyas! So I got a new chip from OWC after it seemed a got a bad stick. Put this in. Situation better but still some kernel panics. Huh? Somehow I thought it is too much of a coincidence to get two sticks of bad RAM in a row. So I opened her up, took sticks out, used air to blow any vestige of dust in there where the sticks go, put a little alcohol on contacts of both OWC sticks, put newest in 2nd slot and the other one they gave me in 1st slot. Altho to be honest, I'm not sure which slot is which. See other post with this question if you're an expert on slots! Made sure all chips seated really well - interesting that now all chips seem the same height, it seemed that last one was always a tad higher altho the clips were down. So maybe it just wasn't fitting quite in that slot, and it fits in the middle slot.
Things seem okay now with all Apple's apps and Firefox. No kernel panics in a day and a half. I think I may keep all the sticks as they seem to be working - does this seem a good idea? Just tell OWC to go ahead and bill me for both sticks? As you may remember, Applejack memtest said a week or so ago the one stick was "probably fine." Disk Utility was the one that said it was bad. Now it seems to be working fine. I ran Disk Utility most of Saturday evening and it now says all RAM is fine. I actually managed to install most of Adobe CS4 this time, with some anomalies. Dreamweaver CS won't open, sez didn't fully install. Old Photoshop 7 didn't open, said there was a shared library error. Was in despair about this, as Photoshop is workhorse on my computer. Online fixes seemed to be Archive and Install. Tried to install Pshop CS but there is not enough HD space. I see Adobe Bridge installed, I was sure I didn't want that thing, but there it is! Decided to yank the whole CS suite but you have to uninstall and decertify your serial number. I don't want to do this because my plan was to install each program separately right after de-install on the same machine. Leave Adobe Bridge off! Went to bed in despair, but on boot up this morning old Photoshop 7 decided to open. I forget whether I was trying to open thru double clicking on a document but when double clicking on the app icon in the dock it opened without complaint. Anybody know how to sort out Adobe CS?
