It had a 120meg ram stick and a small 30meg odd stick. Having read of the problems concerning the 120meg sticks it was the first to be outed!! I bought a 250meg stick from ram direct for $33us, the aussie was nearly 80cents! I still had freezes and a finder that looked different every time I successfully booted. I've my fingers crossed but now for 3 days alls been as it should be, after throwing out the smaller stick as well, and using just the 250meg ram. I'm tinkering with the idea of puting the 120 back? My instinct says buy another 250meg and avoid the loss of hair! No wonder that the guy sold the outfit, and no he wasn't bald. fluff
