I used to have a 1.25 MDD G4 that I sold to a friend a while back.
It works fine with only one 512 MB RAM card in. But when you put in more than that, it freezes up.
The RAM my friend has in there was generic RAM bought from tigerdirect.com.
I'm aware that Macs can be more demanding when it comes to RAM, but I'm curious if there are other issues that could be causing this...
My buddy is about to order 2 gigs or RAM from Crucial or OWC, but I don't want him to spend the money on the "Mac qualified" RAM if there's something else wrong with it.
Are there any known motherboard issues with these models? I'm just hoping that a Logic Board issue isn't the cause. AT that point, replacing it would probably cost more than finding another MDD.
Thanks for any suggestions!
