dlloyd Official Pianist Mar 9, 2004 #2 OS X is much more picky about RAM, so it probably is not recognizing the 128 mb chip. It should be doing more than just not finding it though...

Zammy-Sam Desertchild Mar 10, 2004 #3 This surprises me. I would actually have thought apple and not the software osx is picky.. Really weird. What happenes if you unplug the 64mb module?

dlloyd Official Pianist Mar 10, 2004 #4 Well, it's been mentioned here before that RAM OS 9 recognizes is ignored by OS X. Therefore, OS X is more picky about RAM than 9 is

fryke Moderator Staff member Mod Mar 10, 2004 #5 Yep, and be glad that not 'more' is happening, as usually 'bad' RAM ends with kernel panics... You'll have to consider staying with OS 9 or buying another RAM module that is recognised by OS X.
