yeah, interesting. i do have crucial memory in the machine - but it's worked fine since 10.2. I find it hard to believe the ram would crap out or suddenly be recognized as bad ra…

HI: Here is one data point. I have installed Tiger successfully onto a Rev. A (refurbished) 17 inch powerbook. I have 512 mb of Crucial Ram installed, and have upgraded the supe…
