[G4] Ram ?

[jonny]

When I was refurbishing my used dual 1.25 MMD last year, I pulled the 
1 gig of RAM that came with the machine and purchased all new, same 
lot & and capacity to upgrade & max out at 2 gig of RAM.  I'm glad I 
did this because it ruled out any problems that might be caused by a 
RAM glitch (hard to track down).  The machine has worked very well in 
both OSX & OS9.  If you can afford new RAM, I can recommend this 
option.
