[X4U] cause of kernel panics?

[J Flenner]

the technician just called me and says he can't get kernel panics.
that removing the non-Apple RAM would tell him nothing, since
he can't get them.

he said that surfing the Internet via Netscape 7.2 (while listening to
Realplayer) is not something they would do if it's hardware-caused.
But he's going to do that, to see if he can replicate it.

Anything I should suggest? What do I do if he can't replicate it?
What could that possibly mean? I was unable to get ANYWHERE using it!

Thanks for all your help,
Jackie Flenner

That would be the easiest, and most logical, thing for them to do.  A 
through memory tester might take months to run.
