Well, I decided to buy some of the cheap RAM before prices went up again. One of the four stick is definitely bad, as it does not show up in the System Profiler.
I have a couple of questions about RAM sandwiches and RAMometer. RAMometer came as a freebie with the c600. However, I have never used it. Using the program is pretty straight forward. My question is about error messages. Is an error message an automatic indication that the RAM chip is faulty? Or, is there a margin of error in the error messages? I could not find any documentation on RAMometer. Does anyone know what the error messages indicate/mean? I got a couple of messages and they are pretty much in code. (They give an address, and what the test was shooting for and what it actually got) I guess I need a secret decoder ring! Finally, is my memory correct that the RAM sandwich test is: One new/unknown stick sandwiched between two "known to be good" sticks, and run RAMometer for 500 passes. Is that correct... or was that 5000 passes? Nancy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
