Hi folks...
I just upgraded the RAM in my g4/466/jaguar, and I have a question about it.
I have 3 slots for ram, and they are full. After upgrading my ram I went to system profiler to make sure it was recognized, and sure enough it was. So far, great.
I also noticed in profiler that I have a mysterious 4th slot which is empty. I say mysterious because I don't know where it is. The three that I know of are all in a row with their little clips for securing the ram, but I don't see anything similar anywhere else. As I'm not a real hardware guy I am wondering if I am missing something or of profiler is hallucinating this 4th slot.
Additionally, a friend with a dual 450 g4 recently told me his mac has 4 slots but will only recognize three of them; loading the 4th causes him all sorts of problems. So, if in fact I do have this 4th slot somewhere, an I inviting trouble by using it? I have extra ram laying around that I'd love to put to work for me.
Thanks!
