My RAM passed all tests - even when I took it into the shop and had the tech run Apple's diagnostics. But when we stuck a new stick in the machine ran just fine, thank you. We saw a lot of this at the shop with the Panther upgrade, not so much with Tiger, mostly Jag people who skipped Panther. But we have seen it.

Very interesting. Last night I moved the RAM from the lower to the upper slot and I think it's running better. A few more days of use should tell. But I think my next step would be to contact OWC concerning a RAM swap. Thanks for the advice! -Dylan -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

The only other OS level item I see that I have installed is Temperature Monitor Lite, but it was hanging before I installed that. 10.4.1 has been better than 10.4.0, but Panther was solid, no hangs. I haven't had these problems before I installed Tiger. I've done loads of PRAM resets, nvram resets, permissions repairs, disk checks and extensive memory tests - everything checks out fine. Anyone else with similar woes? Maybe a fix? No problem with 10.4.1 on my 17.
