    Powerbook RAM compatibility question

    No reply needed, I checked with Gigaram who said that this RAM just isn't compatible with Apple hardware. If a company is going to sell funky chips that don't actually live up to specifications, they should at least label them as "not-for-people-with-picky-machines"

    Powerbook RAM compatibility question

    I have a Powerbook G4 (Aluminum, FW-800 series, running 10.4) that I am attempting to upgrade to 2 gigs of RAM. I have installed RAM in this computer before with no problems, so I know what I'm doing in terms of the installation process. Anyway, I purchased two 1GB SO-DIMMS, PC 2700, CAS 2.5...

    Can I do PCI-E with Barton? Recommendation needed

    XP Pro install: fatal error on setup because of an I/O device error?

    I have seen this error before with bad media on several occasions, every time I fixed the problem by downloading an ISO and burning off a copy at 2x on high-end media. Don't blame New-Egg for the bad-media, blame MS for contracting the CD manufacturing to the lowest-bidding chinese factories.

    KT3 Ultra2 and Barton 3000+ Unstable - Need advice

    The short and sweet: Has anyone out there been able to run a Barton 3000+ on a KT3 Ultra2? I realize that this configuration is like trying to squeeze blood from a rock, so if this is one of those situations where I cannot expect it to work just because MSI says it should please just say so...
