Ram woes

Well it seems that Ram and me don't get along!

I took my G5 to Westworld and they finally got the ram to post. Today I got my updated ram for my Ti book.....guess what...the 512 ram I was supposed to get was really a 256! Go figure!! When I took it back to Westworld they found three others that their supplier had screwed them on for 256's for 512's! How does that happen!!.

Ram and me don't get along. I got it home and had no end of problems, but finally got the 512 they gave me to post. So now I HAVE 1 G OF RAM IN my Ti book...woopee....that is double what I had before....and now it seems to work. wow...!! I'm looking forward to the speed boost.
I got the ram in my G5 to work....weird....the placement of the ram! the bottom of the 1 & 2 slots contains the 1 G and the Top of the 3 & 4 contains the 1 G. I need to get rid of the two 512's now and upgrade THAT to 1 G so that I can run Aperture better. I downloaded the trial version and it rocks...so I'm buying it. WOW it is an awesome program. but it needs RAM so I'll be getting the max on my G5 soon. I NEED TO WIN THE LOTTERY BAAAD!!!!!!

Upgrading computers

So...my old computers are getting slow. I'm upgrading ram in my Ti book and in my G5. Lots of problems with the G5, seems it won't post the ram I was given. Westworld has booked it in to find out why. Also some how my two 512 chips have now reverted to 256's, yet it says the ram is ok. How does that happen???? I got a new 1 TB drive and cloned everything from my 250. Now I won't have to dump stuff to do video. I want a new Macbook pro baaaad! Trouble is..I'm going to have to get new software cause a lot of it isn't compatible with the new system. Oh well....maybe I'll have to work some overtime!

Also getting a brake job done on the Olds...so it will be good for the winter.
