hello everyone.
either the 128MB of built-in RAM or a connector or something on dimm0 (the built in slot) on my ibook 800 is broken.
sometimes the computer recognizes the RAM, other times, it just says it is empty. when it recognizes it, the computer usually crashes. when it doesn't, it runs like a dream on just the additional 512MB in the other dimm.

since my computer is way out of warranty, i do not want to take it in to have neither the dimm0 slot repaired, nor have the entire motherboard replaced (which would make no sense economically). i am completely fine with the 512MB of RAM in the other --functional-- dimm.
so what i need to know is:
is there any way (either through software or by tinkering with the hardware) to disable dimm0, so that my ibook will never recognize the faulty 128MB of RAM again?
QUOTE Thanks
