Wonder when Apple will fix this?? This is probably the biggest problem with the computers. I have not had any other problems.

It looks like a Leopard release is scheduled for Friday. 10.5.6 Possibly then! HOPEFULLY then!
I guess there is supposed to be 103 "fixes" in this release. links

I don't have this RAM issue. I'm using the G-Skill DDR3 ram. Can anyone else confirm my findings or am I the only one who bought these?

The problem is a hit 'n miss. One person has no issue, another using the same brand and model would have the problem.

Nor does it fix flickering on external displays....sigh

Cause the updates fix only MagSafe accuracy, the EFI and bootroom. The update did not list fixes to RAM compatibility.

Maybe in a future update or when 10.5.6 is released.
