I recently replaced all my RAM with brand new larger capacity sticks.
A system Profiler check recognized them, by name and such, so must be good stuff.

However, I just now Shut Down, and after a minute, pressed the start button on 
the front center of my CPU. I did this two times, as related below:

First, I pressed and held the On button until I heard the drive and fan rush 
start up. After a short time, the CPU shut down.

Next, I pressed the start button, but released it soon as the button's light 
went on, and the CPU continued to boot to a normal screen.

Neither one gave me a chime at any point.

The computer seems to respond as usual, for anything I've asked of it.

I have the single 1.25 Ghz processor G4 MDD 2003, which is otherwise working 
just fine!
