All the hair-pulling frustrations that I had when I originally tried to
install X on this G-4 DA 733 turned out to be a bad memory stick too,
although it had worked just fine in 9 for a year (although, who knows,
maybe it had been causing trouble that I attributed to other things).
And with other people reporting the same problems here from time to
time, I have to wonder about quality control in the companies that make
these RAM sticks. Why so many bad ones?

work (G4 933MHz) was so slow?
Well lately I was getting freezes and kernal panics (especially in
Photoshop) so I suspected that I had some bad memory. I have one stick
of 256MB and one of 512MB, well after the 256MB stick was removed all
freezes and kernal panics were gone, and goes what, suddenly I noticed
a real increase in speed!! Opening windows in the Finder, opening apps,
and opening docs in apps was noticebly faster :) Strange, but true. I
was really shocked 8)
And luckily the speed is still there now after a new 256MB stick has
been added. Can't believe this is happening to me :) Then to think I've
worked almost a year with that bad stick... Can't believe that bad
memory can have such a negative effect on overall speed...
