i knew that was a good price!

Sooooooo this sale couldn't have happened at a better time to be honest, had about 2 hrs of down time mid session yesterday as one of my ram cards just died on my mac pro!!

Took me ages to diagnose the problem as thought it was a HD/kernel error so was restarting onto a mac osx disk trying to repair disk permissions but to no avail, computer would just lock up and go to a black screen. Noticed that the light on the front was flashing intermittently after a while of troubleshooting so checked online and low and behold - pram/pvram failure.
Quickly narrowed it down to the 2gig older corsair sticks so took that whole module out and just used one with 4x4gig sticks.
Worked a treat and the whole system is much faster than it has been over the last few weeks so must've been dying slowly...

Client is an old friend and was very understanding, he also gave me a hand, just meant didn't get out til 2.30am.

Bring on HD with a backup machine!!

Cheers
