I have a Dual 2GHz G5 with 6GB RAM and the solution mentioned above
did not work.  Any suggestions?  Other than removing RAM?

Thanks,

Brian

Unfortunately none... I looked around and didn't find anything else.
Hopefully MS will come up with a fix for that but I really couldn't tell when
(or enven if) :-\

I used the fix mentioned here on my duel 2.0 3GB G5 system and it worked
fine.  So the fix does work on some machines.  Good luck on your problem
