[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 847366, member: 56231"] Firstly, I think I've just woken up to something (I must read things more thoroughly :Grimmace: ) in that I'm wondering how you got 1.5 Gb to work in matched pairs, eg. 2 x 512 plus 2 x ?? Could this be the reason why the G5 is laggy, and is perhaps only using, say, 1 Gb of RAM via a matched pair, the remaining 512 Mb being an orphan. Can you please post the RAM configuration [System Profiler > Memory] of the G5. Buffered or unbuffered? Depending on which model of G5 you have, Mactracker says unbuffered "4 (dual 2.0 GHz), or 8 - PC-3200 (dual 2.3 GHz+) 2.5v, unbuffered, 8-byte, nonparity 184-pin DDR SDRAM (matched pairs)". Could you also [from System Profiler > Hardware], check and post the exact model of G5 you have. [/QUOTE]
