We don't know the origin of most of it, and can not even tell if it is EDO or FPM. I guess I will pull the RAM from the c600 and test everything in the 9600, as it has more RAM slots, which will go faster. After I check our old stuff, I can start testing the new chips I purchased. > several list members suggest just buying from someone with better > quality control. There is something to be said for quality RAM. The TechWorks chip(s) in both the Powerbook and the new iMac passed without any problems. But buying four new 128MB TechWorks chips would have been way to expensive. Quite a price difference between the TechWorks chips at $249 each and the OWC chips at $27 each. > Personally, I think it's a good idea to test your RAM no matter who > you buy it from I guess I didn't have anything else to do this weekend anyway!
