I looked into the other machine and I found two sticks of Crucial 133
ram. So I did screw that up. But, it didn't make much difference.
I looked at the ram in the DA and pulled out the two sticks that
weren't marked 133 and put in the two sticks I found.
The only change is that in slots J21 and J22 now have 133 ram and J23
shows empty.
I think this is an improvement.

Mark,
First thing I notice with this information is that the memory
cannot possibly be all original. Just looking at the report on the
RAM that is in the 2 populated slots you have 2 totally different
speeds and latency types of memory. Granted I come from a PC World
mostly and just dabble in Macs, but in a PC this would cause
problems including it not being able to recognize the memory
(Anyone know if this is true for Macs?). The other thing is you
have 4 slots and if all are filled with 512MB you should be seeing
2 GB of total RAM. Since the computer is recognizing just 2 slots I
would do the following. Remove all memory and then test 1 stick in
all 4 slots and see if it is recognized in all 4 slots. Move onto
the next stick and do the same. You can also record what the
computer detects each individual stick as so you can have that for
your records. I suspect you have 4 different types of RAM and
that's confusing the computer.
Thank You,
Albert
