Unfortunately my PowerMac G4 never actually worked, it would sporadically crash all the time. Took it to Apple and the logic board needed replacing which would cost me almost £300. Not actually worth it...Put me off Apple (although I have had them forever anyway). Hey mark :)

It's the RAM slot. I tried swapping the chips. And it requires a "logic board" replacement. Not sure if that means motherboard or portion of motherboard. There was a recall of certain PowerBook G4s because of this issue. Mine wasn't one of the serial numbers recalled, but I'm not the only one who has had this problem with a non-recalled PB G4. Good thing I got the extended warranty. For now, since I couldn't afford to be without my main computer for that long, I just bought a 1 GB stick of RAM and put that in the top slot. So I'm back to where I was, at least. I'm probably going to be getting a MacBook Pro when they update them with the new backlights, so once I have everything migrated over to the new machine, I can get the PowerBook fixes. Don't know what I'll do with it after that... maybe get Synergy running on it and use it as a dedicated chat/IM/e-mail screen. Unfortunately, it’s not the RAM. It’s the RAM slot.

Unless of course it's the motherboard that's got a problem, or the RAM just isn't properly seated (could be worth reseating it to see?).
