I had 6 of VU's bargain 128 EDO sticks test individually as OK with both GURU and Gauge Pro but as soon as I put 2 in together both Guru and GP found a few errors, and when I tried to run 4 or all 6 (not interleaved) in my 9600 the machine would not even start. When I called VU they told me of a problem with these (buffer of something, I have forgotten exactly) and had me send them back and are currently replacing them. I also asked them to send me FPM's as the current ones in the machine are FPM and they tested fine, they even interleave well with my XLR8 G3 ZIF carrier...... Call or email VU and tell them about your tests, get a RMA # and send them back! -- Alan Miller Underwater Photographer http://home.earthlink.net/~uwphoto/ 6400/200 w/ Sonnet G3/300/1 eBay ID uwphotoer Live each day like it is your last because someday you'll be right. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
