iBook 600 w/ 16mb ati video. 128mb base + 512mb chip
Bought the computer July 2002. Bought the chip over the internet in July 2002. Things have been fine until last week when I noticed OS X shows I have only 256 mb in that slot, not 512. Zapped the PRAM, did a clean install, ran permission fix, and still 3 out of 4 boots shows ram at 384 (128+256) and 1 out of 4 boots shows 640 (128+512). Then on the boots that do show 640, it kernel panics within a few minutes.
Is this a case of bad ram? Is this and obvious question? Before I hit the company up, i want to exhaust my options.
Thanks,
Buff
PS See you all on Monday (Go, G5!)
