- Gee, that's weird. I bought the multimedia bundle on a Quadra 950 and
- EVERYTHING came pre-installed. No original disks - but it came with coupons
- to get those by mail for free. Also, no memory problems on my machine.
-
- I would say that it does indeed sound like a hardware problem if your
- machine does not seem to accept VRAM or RAM well. You might want to check
- the speed on the RAM, but that's probably not the problem. Sounds like
- your *machine* not your RAM needs to be checked. It should still be under
- warranty.
