Thanks again for all the help. The quicksilver has been up and
running since Wednesday, I just got iLife installed yesterday. The
only issue now seems to be the older drive I'm trying to install from
my old BW. I set it up as a slave drive with newer drive as the
master. The drive is

Well, in order to diagnose the bad RAM I used this same drive and
tiger partition to boot the quicksilver several times over the past
week, and it worked fine when installed as the master drive. The only
problem seems to come about when I try to boot it as a slave drive.

There is a program which can patch some RAM.
It is free download, it is called DIMM First Aid.
If memtest fails the DIMM, this will not fix it.

memtest and ran it with each of the 133 sticks I have booted in to

Why not run Apple Hardware Test yourself? If you didn't get the disc,
you can download an image here:

I'm skeptical this is a bad Mac. I'd test the RAM very carefully. Once
Fair enough, I'll take the advice you and Bruce are giving, thanks
for the hardware test link! With luck I'll have enough time to work
on it tonight or tomorrow evening again. :-)

Are these the clock settings for the RAM slots only (i.e. Not the

Your BW is using, and running fine with, PC-100 SDRAM's.
Your QS 933 will need, and only running with, PC-133 SDRAM's.
