That's actually a bold-faced lie.  According to TechTool Pro, the only slots
still open are A1 and B1.  Coulda swore I filled 'em in the other direction.
It looks like Apple started with A6/B6 and I just kept working on down from
there.  I'm gonna look at the labels on the motherboard once I open the case
again.

Apple says, BTW, that where you put RAM doesn't matter except for the
interleaving.  I've got a grain of salt right here...

TTP finds no problems with my RAM.  I've got an intermittent problem.

The 9600 isn't all that bad, once I lug that old battleship to a clear table
to open it up.  In terms of RAM upgrades, it beats the hell out of fiddling
with the PCs at work.
