I don't remember which I used but it very consistently crashed if more than 1 GB of RAM was loaded for testing. Take out a 128 and add a 64 and it ran. So in the hopes of avoiding another mystery phenomenom, I'm hoping you were simply using a different version which doesn't share the (I hope) consistent problem of the version I tested. Jeff Walther Hi Jeff, I was going to reply off-line, but I realized that the list might be interested. I may have mixed my metaphors. It is Ramometer that I ran. I will have to check the version at home and let you know. (I'm on a PC at work, so I just have the Stuffit archive.) Interestingly, one of my S900s was crashing consistently with just the 'sandwich' in place, but it is the flaky one anyhow. I'm also pretty sure that I have more than one version of Ramometer and the two computers were running simultaneous tests with their respective sandwiches. I had about two and a half gig of ram I wanted to go through, including four Velocity 128MB sticks. The Velocity was the only ram to fail. After all of the sandwich testing was complete, I stuffed my main S900 with the OWC gig and let the test run for ~24 hours. Naturally the number of passes/hour goes down significantly with that much ram. This is also the machine that I am (slowly) exploring Jaguar with, but that is an extremely low priority right now. I'll let you (and the list) know the version(s) tomorrow. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
