[QUOTE="lil, post: 196426"] Make sure it is pushed in very firmly to start with. Does the Mac chime at all when you switch it on? Have you tried resetting the 8500's PRAM and/or PMU? (Search Apple's supoort docs) I had an 8500/120 just like yours originally with the 604e 120MHz and upgrades with an XLR8 300MHz G3 and it worked fine; but had to be pushed in very firmly. Also, though this is a pain--some of the old memory DIMMs may not be compatible; so remove all the DIMMS (a PITA on the 8500s) and put one it at a time if none of the above works. Vicky [/QUOTE]
