[QUOTE="Mamamia, post: 1461147, member: 278207"] Yes.... But most of those 3 years I was running Tiger, 10.4.11... Few months ago I upgraded to Leopard, 10.5.8. Soon after I started getting those fans blowing loud and the Mac down, and always around midnight, with the red LED #7 glowing. What I've done couple days ago was (A) swapping the placement of the DIMMS, because I found out the inward slots were occupied by the new 2GB DIMMS, while the original 512MB DIMMS were outward, which was wrong, and (B) I reset the SMU button. Since then my Mac has been behaving OK, no crashes at night.... SO I'M [B][U]GUESSING[/U][/B] THAT THE WRONG SPEED ISSUE WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF MY TROUBLE (but I still think I should challenge Crucial, and buy the 4200 from OWC). ...Go figure.... [/QUOTE]
