Bob, I've tested on both my iMac and my ancient eMachines tower. Fails on both. I think my DIMMs are dud. But they were VERY cheap. I'm returning them to the vendor. If the replacements don't work, well, I'll fork out for better RAM. Getting my iMac to do something useful is a pocket money project.
(As a side issues, the eMachines confused the hell out of me until I realised that it had some RAM on the motherboard - wierd).
