memtest-ing using the "Sandwich Method", IIRC, proves the middle stick is a good one. e.g. If 3 sticks "A B C" tests OK, you assume B is a good stick. since memtest allegedly exercises the entire middle stick. And so forth. All mine now test good. I'm sort of suspecting a weak PRAM battery. and/or Maybe dust in the slots, a need to re-seat the sticks. -- 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.
