Heh, heh. >> I am now testing these sticks (OWC and Velocity) using TechTool Pro 2 using the following approach: 1) on my 8600/300 (Mach5 motherboard, 604ev CPU), I install the sticks such that they are not in interleaving mode, such as using slots A1, A2, B3 and B4, then I run all TechTool RAM tests except the last two, then 2) on the same machine, I reinstall the sticks so thay are in interleaving mode, such as using slots A1, A2, B1 and B2, and I repeat the same tests. I've never experienced any problems with several gigs of OWC or Velocity sticks which were based upon their (common) current printed circuit board design. I had two failures with OWC sticks, using OWC's earlier printed circuit board design. OWC promptly replaced these with premium sticks, without any hassle. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
