kin. this ram was recommended either #1 02 at every mac site i visited prior to buying the G4. ironically it turned out that no mac service center had an accurate test for ram because apple didn't have one. though months late in coming this info did finally prompt me to purchase another band which did work better. i should mention that i had in the mean time swapped out my ram with 2 other G4s with apple supplied ram that had not solved the problem. mine worked in theirs while theirs didn't in mine. this i suppose is why they kept replacing the other guts in mine. after that then another issue arose and that was FW800 incompatibility which apple says was the fault of everyone else. well, we all know the answer to that one. that issue was more or less resolved by th other manufacturers with the updates to their gear. for best performance i still have to use FW400 for the audio drive and the 800 for storage...cool huh. at present i'm on 10.3.9 which is now functioning the best since my purchase. since my rig was more of a G5 than a G4 all those little changes to take advantage of the 5s architecture performance and stability have improved. i can sill run more tracks (on SX), plugins, and vst instruments on my 3+ yr. old 2.6 P4 pc than i can on the mac but the gap is closing. "The statement that they (Apple) can't warranty it working with third party products is unreasonable, you have a reasonable expectation of it working when you bought it" true or not it's apples position that problems are yours and not theirs. after all, you own a mac which is like being a part of the second coming so it must be your fault. all of this comes too little too late for me. it's sad, it took me 10 months of 16 hour days and a couple buckets of money to build my studio. add another 6 years of 16 hour days building the business to where i was making pretty good money. then came the mac and after 2 plus more years of trying to keep my dream alive i threw in the towel. my wife and i plan on moving to oregon in about 3 years and i don't wish to take 2 of those years to try to rebuild a client base and reputation only to leave it when we move. so there you have it, i'm just plain out of

Thanks. Go to: http://parisfaqs.com/ and do a *Control F* find search in your browser for PAF, it should read as below... Wave files a.. If you want to convert between PAF (Paris) and Wave files, here is a utility called PafWavConvert (444 kb zip). b.. If you need to import wave files into Paris and are having problems, it may be due to header information in the wave file. There is a utility called StripWav that will remove extraneous info. c.. If you need to do any sample rate conversion, and you want something different than what Paris has built in, check out R8Brainyay ! Happy 1 year !

Thanks mario.roso@os.t-com.hrI'm sorry to hear that. You are the exception to the norm. I think Apple is wrong for not replacing the whole system. People in the mac community have said for years to not jump on the latest hardware until it has been proven in the field. The beige G3 was another example of that. If you decide to go to tiger, put it on a test drive first and run it for a few months before you commit. Tiger is still not ready. Safari, text edit and GarageBand crash in tiger. I'm running Mozilla right now. I'm going to reload Tiger and all the apps. to see if that helps. If not I'm going back to Panther.
