No. The PRAM / NVRAMs have nothing to do with the OS on your HD. Those memory chips hold data used by the Power Management Unit (PMU), and a few parameters used by the OS (mouse speed, default boot volume name, etc). The caches in question are OS X's caches, maintained on the HD. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
