[QUOTE="Horsa, post: 1902042, member: 403905"] NEW DEVELOPMENT: My machine is supposed to have 24Gigs of RAM in it, populating all the slots of the two risers (4-4-2-2 in each riser). I've just taken a look at System Information, and under "Memory" it now thinks that all of the slots on riser B (the bottom one) are EMPTY. Interesting. So either 4 of my memory sticks have gone kaput at once (not terribly likely), or the riser board itself is defunct. Whether this is the cause of the recent shenanigens or an effect of them, I can't say. Next thing for me to do is to switch off the machine and... a) check that my memory risers are seated properly. b) swap the memory sticks over between the risers to see if the problem stays with the riser or moves with the sticks. Hmmm... [USER=402209]@NSMacGuru[/USER] - I've just seen your post. Oh yes, I'm sure that an M1-powered Mac Mini would out-perform my old darling. I have a question, though: I run a dual-monitor setup (don't laugh: they're VGA!) - the ones I'm using currently are perfectly sufficient for my needs and I don't fancy the expense of replacing them. Do you know if it would be possible to run them off an M1 Mac Mini? Would it even talk to a VGA monitor? [/QUOTE]
