There are widespread documented accounts of OS X rejecting some RAM as not compatible or such on various platforms (personally i've come across it mostly in iMacs and PowerMacs upgraded with el-cheapo RAM) so it's not outside the bounds of possibility that it could be rejecting the RAM. It's Kingston RAM so it may be worth giving their UK branch a call and asking if they have any ideas, or if they will replace it as they and Crucial are reckoned to be the best around in the UK in my book, and I think their RAM has a pretty good (if not lifetime?) guarantee. -- Mark Benson http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
