[HM] Interesting DIMM problem

[Thom Holland]

Hi all,

I've got a dual G4 MDD.  I upgraded the RAM to 2 GB with 4 512MB DIMMs.  
That worked fine for a long time.  Last Monday the power went out at my 
home.  It took be a week to get the machine working properly again.  
What finally worked was removing 3 DIMMs and leaving one in the '0' 
slot.  Today I tried reloading all the DIMMs to see what would happen.  
I discovered that if I had a DIMM in slot 1, the Mac would not boot.  
Out of curiosity, I tried one of the old 256MB DIMMs in slot 1.  That 
worked.  Odd.  The slot works with a 256, but not 512 DIMM.  Yes, I 
tried all the 512 DIMMs in slot 1, that stops the Mac from booting.  
Anyways, my computer is working fine now.
