eMac highly unstable

[Intell]

memtest is a UNIX binary. Most UNIX binaries can easily be ported to Mac OS X thanks to its UNIX/BSD subsystem.

does anyone know if its possible to add a login window sound theme and background to the login window? is it possible to play a login sound when u log in?

OK memtest results are:

KOMPUTERBAY RAM: PASS
UNKNOWN RAM: PASS

all tests passed in both slots however WHEN both 1GB sticks are installed i get 7 Data Mismatch errors using memtest whats this mean RAM is good so why is it data mismatching when 2GB is installed?

That means it's a logicboard problem.

That means it's a logicboard problem.

so i can only use one slot? it dont matter if its 2 1GB sticks 1.5GB or 1.25GB same data mismatch errors i havent tried 2 512MB sticks yet do i need to have both stick match? will getting another 1GB KOMPUTERBAY stick fix the issue?

I think it'll be unstable no matter what size you use if you use both slots.

this is the tests i get data mismatches on:

Linear PRN : Testing 4 of 16
FAILURE! : Data Mismatch at local BUFA address

Running Comparison tests using 950MB buffers
FAILURE Data Mismatch at local BUFA address

Compare XDR:
