If the ram is causing trouble, then it could certainly freeze the system
- that is what I meant.
If you continue to have trouble, then send me the Q40 nearer the US
show. I can replace the RAM sockets, and bring it to Montreal.
If you can't make the show, I could get someone from the US to post it.
I don't like posting to the US direct, as our post office won't insure
mail to the US - for some reason.
