  The PRAM is the Parameter RAM, and contains such information as the system 
output sound volume. It's stable across boots and zapping it sets it back to 
its default values.


  Cheers,

What is PRAM? was safari sluggish and slow

2009-09-06 Thread James & Nash

If this doesn't fix your problem, you should try zapping the PRAM

What is this feature please?

Thanks

Take care
