[G4] memory problem in dual 867

[Patrick J. Runcie]

The ram you purchased, you need to find out if it's high or low density vs
the ram that the computer you have is limited to low or will accept high
density ram.  It's possible, that you may have purchased a high density
stick & the computer will only accept low density.  Another suggestion is,
it's possible the stick is bad.  Try it out on another computer, even a
Windows system.  That will rule out if the stick is bad.

Hi,

I just purchased from OWC a 512 memory chip to put into this newly 
acquired mirror doors with only one 512 slot taken......however, after 
installing the memory, I have had freezes kernel panics and other strange 
attrocities often.  I moved the memory about in different slots and tried 
resetting the pram, and pma.   No help so I removed the memory and 
everything is smooth once again.  Is there some magic I should put into 
service here or do I likely have a bad memory chip?  OSX10.39.   Thanks.

John
