[QUOTE="gettricks, post: 1668109, member: 357857"] Cleaning the slots with compressed air doesn't seem to have done anything. So I am guessing this is in-fact an issue with the slots themselves and does not have anything to do with the RAM type or OS X. One thing I should mention though is I did a reinstall of Leopard with the fully loaded RAM (all 8GB installed) even when it was only showing 7GB and upon checking my configuration after the clean install it was showing 8GB in the system profiler and activity monitor. This was when I was using all of the same RAM from 4alldeals. But as soon as I restarted the computer it was back to only showing 7GB and I was getting the same error in the diagnostics page. Also, when I put a 1GB configuration (2x512MB) of Kingston RAM I ordered a couple years ago into those 2 slots, it shows up as 512 MB. So it seems that either both of those slots are only recognizing half of what is installed or one of the slots is not recognizing anything at all. Any further ideas on how I might be able to solve this issue? [/QUOTE]
