I love the prices on Other World Computing RAM. But after having installed two 128 MB DIMMs (separately, a month or so apart) in my PowerTower (non-Pro), I encountered problems each time (system freezes on startup, as I recall; it's been awhile).
Both times, I ran TechToolPro after problems emerged (because of the supposed RAM test). Mysteriously, the freeze problems disappeared each time. However, I think Michael's advice about making sure the CPU (and everything else) is properly seated, and also starting over with the pre-OWC RAM, is very solid advice. on 11/15/02 7:11 PM, Joel Fredericson at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Just added six 128 sticks to max out memory (1+ gig) on PTP with original > 604e cpu.
