Hey guys. I'm new here so i want to say thanks for all of the help you Mac Gods of the message board.
I'll list what i have and what i have done to eliminate any guess work.
Problem: After installing my new Ram, only 1 gig shows up.
What hardware i have: Power Mac G5 2.0 late June with the 4 pci slots & 8 gig max memory slots. It has the original 250 gig H.D. and i just installed the 1T Hitachi SATA DeskStar 3.0 GB H.D.
What i've done: It had 4 GB of ram installed by the previous owner so i wanted to max it out with another 4. Bought this off of ebay....
2GB 2 X 1GB PC3200 DDR 400 PC 3200 2700 2100 MEMORY RAM - eBay (item 110330199830 end time Jan-24-09 09:12:08 PST)
...and did everything to get it to work until i found out that i needed the low density version. Thats getting shipped soon but in the mean time i put the new HD in and the memory back to where i think i had it.
Whats going on now: After the 'first' attempt with changing and moving the memory, i've never been able to get back the original 4 gb of memory. Did the basics of pairing up everything and putting them in their respective places. (slot 1 upper and slot 1 lower)
pressed and did the SMU reset on the logic board. I've taken out the memory and pressed them in to all **** like i was going to break the computer but i still get the one gb of ram reading.
What do i do now.
thanks.
