[QUOTE="rexk, post: 1569321, member: 243284"] Yes, that would be an alternative. It probably won't cost less, eirher, because I had tentatively decided to let a local tech install the nogic board for $100. The downside risk is that there may be further failure of my existing logic board. However, installing and using a used logis board isn't without risk, either. To review, the activity monitor is showing that 8GB of RAM is functional, and that the functional RAM is all in riser B. As the RAM is not in the recommended configuration, am not sure if the Ram is being utilized with maximum efficiency; it seems to take 4gb just to run Firefox and one (ETrade Pro) trading platform. I'll check further into the viability of this approach. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
