Mine works fine, you did everything necessary, which is to install it. 512 MB chips were not tested by apple, but it works. (so does 128 MB in an SE/30). It definitely sounds like a bad SO-DIMM, so get an RMA from them and get them to replace it. Mine flies with 640 MB of RAM and hasn't crashed yet. -- Sent from my Powerbook Pismo 400mhz 640MB 30GB using Mailsmith Trey Christensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Borel-3 Enterprises Official All Your Base page <http://hubert.retrogames.com/history.htm> -- -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
