Good question. Dunno right now - maybe I'll sell it or pass it on to a friend.

Yes, it's doing a basic RAM test. You can't do it on all Macs, but you can likely disable the startup memory test by holding down option + command (I think) when you double-click …

Another question...I have two Kangas, and the one with 64MB of RAM boots noticably faster than the one with 160MB of RAM. There's a noticable pause between the power-on chime and t…
