Re-seat your SIMMs, and try again (this will correct well over half of these occurrences). If this doesn't work, there's a way to tell from the tones which part of your memory is failing - but I forget what it is off the bat. If reseating the SIMMs doesn't work, use your AppleCare (you DO have AppleCare?) and get the box serviced. -- Mark Hartman, N6BMO "What are you just standing there for?
