[iBook] Re: Freezing and Sleeping problems

[Geoff WALLACE]

Hello Eric,

I have a Dalmation iMac, that had a 512 MB RAM Chip that went bad after 2
years, kept getting Kernel Panics.

Back to Apple under Apple Care, diagnose bad Chip, chip back to Manufacturer
for replacement (Hyundai I think), picked up new replacement RAM Chip after
10 days.

RAM can go bad.

Each version of OS X seems to tighten the specs of RAM it seems.
