Upgrade ....... to a new Mac????? LOL (Laughing Out Loud)
Sorry, couldn't help myself. Mac's are great machines. I'd own one if I could purchase all of the software I run for a Mac at a reasonable price.

Sounds to me a little like the board may have been damaged, most likely with the addition or removal of a PC card. If pressing or tapping causes a changes it means the print paths have breaks in them. When you replace the board, make absolutely sure you use *all* the motherboard stand offs the board has holes for, they are there to properly support it. In fact, I've taken to adding non conductive / static free foam (similar to what the board sits on when new, but usually that isn't thick enough for support use) underneath all the ATX machines I work on for friends / family / servers to provide even more support. I've cracked two boards completely in half because they were not properly supported and like an idiot I was pressing down to get the card to seat and *snap* Check out both http://www.geeks.com and http://www.newegg.com .. Geeks sells refurbed and used stuff mostly, and they do not currently have a board that will accept your RAM but they have new stock all the time. Or, you could take this opportunity to upgrade to a new Mac -- Knowledge is power... Power Corrupts. Study hard...
