Mike if you have gone through a hundred bongs , you should be very stoned by now !! Glad to hear you fixed your problem. When in doubt with Ram I have run Memtest which has on the odd occasion found faults with memory modules - it just takes quite a while to run is all. OSX is very fussy when it comes to Ram. USB 2.0 cards - yeah I have a couple in my parts bin that caused lock-ups and sleep problems.
