I added 2 x 1 GB to the two empty slots and it did not recognize the RAM. I removed the 2 x 1 GB and rebooted ... I got the 3 blinks on the power button. I shut dowand retsarted 30 seconds later and the same. We did not swap any of the RAM around, just added 1 GB to each slot 4. I have since removed ALL the RAM and inserted pairs . I still get the 3 blinks no matter which of the old pairs I put in. I can not get beyond the 3 blinking lights. 2005, G5, 2.7 dualie running 10.5.8. Being the impatient sort ... and 14 years old ... my son coerced me into doing something quickly ... so I bought a G5 dual 2.3 for $111 including shipping ... swapped the HDs and video card out, installed 6 GB RAM from the old computer ... pressed the CUDA ... then the power button and put a smile on his face. I will probably be swapping the processors later and parting out what I have left. 1.5 GB RAM, 2.3 Ghz dual processors, 160 GBHD, and case and such. Thanks for all the help ... but Gordian Knot was too complicated ... just slash and burn!

Maybe time for an earlier G4 or a G5? Bob Well, I have 4 dead MDD G4s, and would still like to get 2 working. I'd upgraded over the years, and even have a couple SATA cards in two of them, it would be a shame to call it quits. Spoken like a true Lowendmaccer. Viva Le Machina! If you are willing to do some work and figuring, the group at www.Badcaps.com have helped a few people to fix their own G4 MDD power supplies. It may take a while, but they are very patient and helpful. You have to join, of course, but that is free and I never got any spam from it. Good luck, again.
