[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1327420, member: 56379"] This is what I'm thinking. You had two 1gig sticks of ram originally...and now you have two 2gig sticks of ram. Before when you had both 1gig sticks installed...only 1gig was being reported in the "About This Mac" window. Now when you installed two 2gig sticks of ram..."About This Mac" is still only reporting "half" of the installed ram (2gig instead of 4gig). Thus the same condition with 2 different sets of ram. My conclusion is...with the info given...is that the ram is good...and it's one of the ram slots that's bad. Sorry.:( - Nick p.s. I can only suggest one thing to try (this is a longgg shot)...see if there's any dirt or debris in either of the ram slots. Blowing them out with some "canned air" would be a good idea. Then reinstall the ram. Like I said....a long shot...but something to try.:) [/QUOTE]
