B&W G3 Owners. Check Your RAM!
From PowerLogix's Robin Sharp, "PowerLogix yesterday issued an alert for Blue & White owners who are seeking to upgrade the memory in their systems. In accordance with Apple's recent tech note, owners of the Yosemite (B&W)
G3 PowerMacs should not be using memory other than PC100 modules that
meet Apple's spec. Upgrading with nonstandard SDRAM modules can cause
stability problems which can reveal themselves after upgrading the
processor. "We determined that modules not built to the Apple
recommended PC100 specification can cause problems in some machines. When
they were replaced with spec modules, the problems disappeared," said
Mark Schmidt, PowerLogix Technical Support Manager. For additional information, PowerLogix has posted a special cautionary note on their web site". [This may have been the problem noted in Thursday's 466 G3 ZIF review. I have installed two third party RAM modules, one of which is out of spec.--Bill]
