Hi all.  I recently bought a G4 MDD dual 867 and I LOVE it.

I am having just one issue with it though..    A couple hours after I got it I ran the Apple Hardware Test on it and it found an issue with 1 of the 3x256 memory sticks.  It simply said that it failed the test.  The 2 hours before I used the hardware test I was running Tiger with no issues at all..  No kernel panics at all and none ever with it.  I thought that was a sure sign of bad hardware?  Is the ram ok or not?  Can

Anyway..  now and then the system just locks up on me.  If I am playing music or a podcast when it happens it sounds like a record skipping over a 1 second part of a song over and over till I do a hard boot.  Everything locks when it happens.  The lock ups are too varied and different to easily trouble shoot the issue..

Other times it has happened was when I opened a video podcast in itunes and twice when I was using Google Earth.

Any thoughts or ideas?

OSX can be very picky about ram.  Ram also fails over time like anything else.  Take that stick out and see if it runs better.

Sounds like a bad stick or a memory mismatch.

I took the stick out and re-ran the hardware test. 

all is well now 

its a good thing i'm buying ram from you now maestro as I have 2 empty slots now and only 512MB 

thanks guys
