<DIV>Yes, I downloaded the firmware update listed under the Panther chart for that machine, and when I tried to install it - it said it was already the latest update. Would placement of memory make a difference? I have a new 512 chip from OWC in one slot on one end and a 128 in the first on the other end (4 slots - with the chips in the outside slots). All the memory is recognized.<BR>Linda<BR></DIV>
