[QUOTE="jm300, post: 1029901, member: 139162"] Thanks for your help! I am going to try my best to get some replacement RAM out of them. I may have previously mentioned, I had an old iBook G3 for a while, and I recall purchasing some brand new generic RAM (512 MB) from OWC in August of '08, worked great at first! Come February/March of '09, the machine had kernel panics and would sometimes come up with a prohibitory sign during startup. It was so bad, I recall having to take the 512 MB module and was stuck with 256 MB's for a while. This seems very familiar to what is occurring in the Powermac, only the RAM is so bad, it's entirely refusing to boot. [/QUOTE]
