Anna, When Ramometer finds a problem it stops and tells you there's a problem. I've used it many times and I recall only twice finding problems. Both times the problems were found fairly quickly...less than a hundred passes I think. I have run it up to 10000 passes at times. One of the problem RAM chips was also tested with TechTool Pro (an older version, not 3) and it DID NOT find the problem. I know the RAM really did have a problem because whenever I tried to use it there were problems with the Mac. tafkar -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
