[QUOTE="68Impala, post: 1522570, member: 305008"] [b]Thanks!!![/b] Yup...MP 1,1, all right. I did more-than-due-dilligence for about 2 years before I finally dove in and bought two 8GB kits of Hynix RAM from a major online outfit, and it's working a treat. I made sure that, for this kind of $$$, it was fully-buffered, compatible in all aspects, and properly heat-sinked. So far, it's not only running better, but about 12 degrees cooler than the 'old' RAM. The problems have surfaced SINCE I started using the new drive, with the IDE-to-SATA interface. It works just like any other adapter between a device and a cord, and it seems to be working great so far...it's just 'preempted' my other, older IDE drive. (I got two of the adapters from the same online store via Amazon, for about $11 for the pair...I guess one will be a backup! It says: "PATA to SATA Adapter, #7317 LK-13415 P/N 863B It plugs into/onto the drive, and has ports on the other side to plug the IDE ribbon and power cord into. As I said, so far [I][B]IT[/B][/I] works a treat.) I'm just beginning to think I'm now going to have to find ANOTHER SATA drive; maybe I can trade my used RAM and old burner for that one, eh?
