I think you need to work on the picture link a bit.

It should look something like this:

You need to fill in your real info for your webspace provided by your ISP. Remove the space in the [ img] tag when you're done, I inserted it to "break" the tag so it would remain visible. An actual link might look something more like this, but you have to upload the screen shot to your webspace, and insert the other info correctly.

[ img]http://home.earthlink.net/~bradleykavin/screenshot.jpg[/img]

If in doubt, check your ISP's webspace instructions. But image links usually go like this:
http://domain_name/~username/filename.stupidextension

where...
domain_name is your webspace domain name. Examples are home.earthlink.net, members.dslextreme.com, etc.

Then you have the ~username which is your username on your ISP. The leading tilde ~ is usually required by your ISP.

Finally, the filename.stupidextension. Put whatever you called the file there. Be sure to use the same case, since ISP webspace is usually case-sensitive. screenshot.jpg and SCREENSHOT.JPG are different files to your ISP and cannot be interchanged.

You need to upload the screenshot before this can work. The shot cannot be larger than 480 wide x 720 high, or you should provide a download link instead of a direct image per MacNN Forum rules. To provide a download link, skip the [ img][/img] tags, leaving the meat in between.

that is because your G5 is looking at each bank of memories in pairs. You have 2 pairs of pc3200 running each at different speeds.

They're all PC3200. This isn't a problem in my opinion.

no because each bank is used pairs at a time. As long as you don't mix and match CL 2.5 and CL 3 sticks when installing in pairs, you're fine
