I tried to fire it up off of the legacy CD, and it will still show the built in memory test has a problem. It does this with both memory chips, But it actually will boot all the way up and tell me that I only have 4MB of RAM.

the 040 boots fine with the memory. funny thing is before i switched the CPUs, the PPC chip used to boot fine with no errors. now it wont. :disapprove:

So, I took the memory module out and it boots up without any errors on the legacy CD. It tells me that I have 4MB of RAM still (used to show 10MB before i did the chip swap).

Apple system profiler when I can get it to fire up without telling me its out of memory. is telling me the CPU is running PPC at 88mhz. Which is false, its a 117mhz CPU?

im at a loss on this one.
