[iBook] ibook g3 (rest of info)

[Michael Elliott]

Yes but did you get the same panic after you pulled the RAM?

I disagree that if the g3 doesn't start up from the system discs that  
the hard drive is necessarily fried. But if it dies start up from the  
system install cd then you know its not the RAM at least.
