Yes. Go back to the way it was and *just* add the RAM stick and see if it is ok before moving on or else you will be messing about on tricky investigations with too many factors. My experience with new or second-hand RAM sticks tells me to test the stick first by not changing any other factor. -- dorayme --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
