I have to use NON-interleaved memory on my 8600/G3 to run OSX ? I have an assortment of DIMMs in this rig, so it's not a biggie. Just looking for clarification.
You will have problems. An 'Assortment of DIMMS' is a sure way to frustration hell; RAM problems can masquerade themselves as just about anything. (In my case bad RAM caused the system to not see the internal SCSI bus when I had a G4 card installed, on my 7600. I put it down to a bad G4 card, until I bought a 128 mb DIMM, put it in and my system reported that it had 64 Mb instead of the 512 it was supposed to.
Toss the old suckers, buy a 128 mb dimm or two to replace them and be done with it.
These sorts of problems also lead to the 'interleaving is bad' mantra. Interleaving works, so long as all your RAM is up to snuff.
