[QUOTE="nko, post: 9169"] Got good news and bad news. Good news is, my RAM is bad (which explains random lockups I've been getting since I first got the thing, and fits nicely with the fact that they've been getting more frequent exponentially), and I can drag it in to CompUSA to have it repaired (the nearest Apple Store is.... not near, by any measure).
