Some may remember my previous 'mail about a mate with some eMac grief.
We thought it was a software issue. However, it appears that either the logic board or RAM is the culprit. He installed a 512meg stick from Zytech shortly after purchasing his eMac 6-8 months ago.
He's had no problems until recently - unexpected quits, computer freezes ... and now system profiler is claiming his 512meg stick is in fact 256megs. Watched as after a restart it jumped back up to 512megs again. Magic.
Should he call Apple? I talked him through using Memtest in the terminal, didn't uncover any problems with the RAM ...
I'd hate for him to lose his eMac for ages without confirmation of the problem.
Cheers, Tobes.
