[CUBE] osx stuck on login

[Eugene Fields]

Im just picking up on this and it may have already been said but you 
might do well to remove the extra memory you have installed,  and 
replace with Apple original and see if you don't have success

Use Aoole's  Hardware test disk that came with the machine to test 
memory!   I found bad memory  that was causing the problems you are 
having,,,,
