Hello Stewie, I'd just like to thank you for your patience and support first. Now, good news: Two DIMMs were defective - The Mac would not sleep and wake properly with two of them. (all 512 MB DIMMs) One is fine! Thank goodness! The USB card also caused the problem. FW 400 PCI card, don't know yet. I've gone through about 100 bongs tonight!!! :P The DIMMs have got lifetime warranty - Very good! Will send back soon. The CPU upgrade I have is a 233 Powerlogix PF55, but it's different than the ones I looked up.- It doesn't have the jumpers. So, I believe it's fine. My powermac is running great. That's about all for now. -Mike
