[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1522788, member: 56379"] Now that you got the computer running with just one stick of ram installed. The way to tell if you have a bad stick of ram or a bad ram slot...take the "good" stick of ram that is in it (let's call this slot #1)...remove it...and install it in the other empty slot (slot #2). Restart the computer. If it's stable...then both ram slots should be good...as well as the 1 stick of ram. Of course if the computer is not stable after switching the ram into the other slot (slot #2)...then ram slot #2 may be bad. To double check things...take the 2nd stick of ram (the stick that was removed)...and put it into either slot. If from the tests above it looks like both slots are ok...then this 2nd stick of ram (if it's bad) should kernel panic the computer in either slot. - Nick p.s. A "Late 2008" Unibody MacBook has a max. ram of 8gig. [/QUOTE]
