[QUOTE="JChance, post: 505378, member: 39342"] Well, holding the Windows button along with Windows+ alt+P+R isn't doing anything at startup.. So I guess I'll have to wait until I get my Apple keyboard to see if it fixes the problem. At this point, I'm trying to figure out if it's more likely a problem with the computer or with the RAM I bought. I bought it from a dealer on eBay (yeah, yeah, I know.) He guanteed it 100% MAC compatible. It's actually PC3200, even thought the G4 calls for PC2700. However, everywhere I've read said that 184 pin PC3200 is perfectly backwards compatible to PC2700, and even PC 2100 is some cases. But... I've also read that Apple's can be picky about the RAM they use. So now I'm worried. Guess I just need to figure out a good "starting point" to determine the culprit. Doh! [/QUOTE]
