Are you smoking' the same thing the Apple designers are?

I remove the 32 mb DIMM's by pairs (a6/b6, a5/b5, etc.) until I was down to
1 pair left, attempting to initialize after each one, with the same failure.
I removed those, and put in 2 64 MB DIMM's in A6/B6, and tried it again.  It
worked.  Did you get that?  IT WORKED.  What the [EMAIL PROTECTED] is going on?

Other than this initialization issue, the 32 MB DIMM's have been fine.

I am so confused, baffled, stumped, puzzled, perplexed, mystified, and
bewildered!
