Now, I'm thinking there really is an issue with the RAM.
FINALLY!! I decided to do what was suggested and pull all the RAM except one stick and see if it would load. Well, it did.
Now, I've got several more to choose from, so how do I test to see which ones are good and which ones are not? Replace what I KNOW is good and just reinstall till it craps out?

Do one stick at a time until it goes wonky, I guess.
There is a math puzzle way of doing it faster but one at a time is probably the best. But also keep track of the slots. You may have a bent snapped pin in the slot. Once you verify a bad one try a "good" one in that slot.
If it is a slot you can get your magnifier, your clean air blaster, your DW40, your emery board (in that order, each is more dangerous) to clean.
Every time I put ANY memory into it and try to load OS X, it freezes up and I have to reboot. I take out the memory stick, and it does fine.
So I guess I'm stalled at 512Mb (there is NO WAY I can fix that slot-I can bearly see it ) There doesn't seem to be any obstacles keeping the stick from seating properly.
Now. To find some software that will actually do some work.

Try a blast of WD40 then a blast of air. A tiny mirror and a bright light to look into it helps too. It might be just one pin touching another. I bet it is a short and the the short grounds out when you seat the stick.
Don't worry about WD40 mucking anything up. Short blast and let her sit for twenty minutes before you fire it up because there might be an infinitesimal chance the short causes a spark and you would really fire it up.
