[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1643262, member: 46727"] That's the correct memory, and memory modules from OWC are of the best quality. We always recommend buying from them or Crucial. I've seen problems from other users which match the problem you're having. Several users described having to disassemble their machine, remove the logic board, and adjust the screws that held the memory slot connectors in place. One member stated that after he made the adjustments, that the slots began to function normally again. Other users reported the slots just would not function properly no matter what they did. Your machine is old and it's possible that heat build up over the years has put a lot of strain on those module connectors. Sorry but that's the best I can provide you with based on what I've learned from other users who have posted to our forums. You might wish to do a search in the [URL="https://discussions.apple.com/welcome"]Apple User Discussion Forums[/URL] which are massive compared to ours and have many more users and lots of very experienced users.
