You can see if it is the RAM being tested by turning such off. Hold down option and command and go Apple Menu/ControlPanels/Memory and turn it off. Can't see much point in having it on normally. Also, maybe take a good look at your extensions, see there are no duplicates, things not needed and so on... David Elmo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
