Hi I have a G3 beige upgraded with a OWC G4-400 with 768 megs of ram. I have installed jaguar wih Ipso Facto. Thank you for this software. But it crash completly, not just the application, often. Is it normal with a beige G3 upgraded? Do I have to reinstall jaguar with the old CPU of my G3? With 9.22 it works fine but I like jaguar. If you tell me it is normal to crash in that condition, Iwill come back to 9.22. Thanks Warren |

This is a question for gchron, You mention a memory test utility that you said you mentioned in this forum. Could you post the download URL again here please? I'm having freeze problems, and it's probably due to the cache enabling or my RAM, and I'd like to test my RAM. Thanks |

Another question is whether you are getting freezes, or error messages of some kind. For freezes, the most common cause is RAM-related or L2-cache related, as has been said already. |

I think ram is highly over rated as the cause of these type of issues, and in my experience the cache enabler is the usual suspect... Marty |

How did you enable your L2 cache? some card have problems with some enablers, try L2cacheconfig or powerlogix cache control or sonnets tune up (seeing as you don't have a sonnet i would not go for it) |

RAM most likely |

Most likely it is a bad RAM module. Lotta folks have reported this as a cause. For some reason, Jaguar is very sensitive to RAM problems. Run MemTest overnight to see if you can locate the problem board, and/or pull half the RAM, try again, and swap memory in and out to track down the bad actor(s) among your DIMMs. |

This is a strange problem as my OSX configuration is rock solid with my 9500 with a G3. The most probable situation is memory. Just try and see what it will happen if you test your memory (You can do this with a utility that I show at this forum or guage that can be downloaded from vrersion tracker. (guage is a claccis application and so you will have to boot from 9 in order to test your mem) I do not knwo what other thing could be the problem. Oh waht is your configuration?? Are your disks IDE or SCSI??? |
