Hi. I have a 14" G4 1ghz ibook. This ibook came with 128mb soldered
on the board and one open slot. Installed a 1 gig memory stick in the
open available slot. Memory came from Omni Technologies. The memory
was purchased about 3+ months ago. Was running Panther when the new
memory was installed. Worked perfectly. Installed Tiger. Memory
continued to function perfectly.
The ibook is now running 10.4.2 with all of the current available
updates. Within the last couple of days it seems to be running
slowly. I am seeing the spinning beach ball way too often. Opened
About This Mac and was surprised to see that I only had 640 mb of
ram. Hmm. Pulled ram out and reinstalled it. Started up machine
and About This Mac says 1.128 Gig of ram. The ibook ran for about 4
minutes and then froze. It froze while running Firefox. Only other
app open was Mail. So I restarted the machine. Opened About This
Mac and I am back down to 640 mb of ram.
What gives?
Warranty has expired (it had expired when I bought it "new" from
MicroCenter) and there is no AppleCare. Long story, not worth
retelling.
