I got a 7300 dirt cheap in a lot of about 8 other Macs. There was a 8200 and a 7200 included, and I've basically stripped both of these for RAM and hard drives. I now have a bunch of extra dimms. I fitted the 7300 with a load of them (yes I interleaves as far as I could manage - they were dimms from varying manufacturers and only one has a size mark on it. Anyway, after fitting out the 7300 I ended up with 96meg of ram and a Mac that freezes in about a minute after booting. I generally use BeOS, so I booted to MacOS 8.5 and got a similar reaction. Has anyone else got any ideas as to what could be wrong woith the ram? It worked fine in the 7200, indeed I have now got the 7300 running with 96mb of ram using only it's 32mb that it came with, and 3 other Dimms, one marked as 16mb. The weird thing is that I can start up with the other ram installed, but just noth with it all together. I think it could be ram timing issues because some dimms are 60ns and others are 70ns... in the PC world it would all just use the lowest common denominatorm however this seems not to happen for the 7300 :-(
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
