Mike,

     I would verify that you are using all the same speed memory and same 
latency. Mixing different chips could cause problems. You might also want to 
clean the slots and test each stick individually using AHD (Apple Hardware 
Diagnosis) if you don't have the CD that came with the computer you can 
download the image from Apple Support site (sorry don't have the link for 
this). Once you test individually try 2 at a time and switch the 2 that you are 
testing.

Subject: Problems maxing ram on Quicksilver

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had any similar problems or solutions when
maxing out the ram on an old Quicksilver. It's model M8493 running a
933mhz processor. I have tried to max out the ram to 1.5GB but when I
put the final 512MB chipset in it causes programs to freeze or just
quit midstream (like Firefox, Safari), or the machine to freeze up
altogether. If I put a smaller size chip in it runs fine (I have an
old 128MB one that used to run in it). The machine recognizes the
1.5GB. I have tried rotating the chipsets in the memory slots, made
sure they are seated properly, and even returned the most recent one
purchased and gotten a replacement and the machine still has the same
problems. I don't know if there is something I am missing or what. If
anyone has any ideas as to what the problem is or how to solve it
please let me know.
Thanks,
Mike
