I have an old iMac G4, 800mHZ, 60GB HD, 256MB RAM, and running Mac OS 10.4 Tiger. And, as the thread title suggests, it keeps crashing with a Kernel Panic (http://content.answers.com/main/con...ernel_panic.png). It usualy happens when playing a game, burning a DVD, working in iDVD, etc. The weird thing is... I used to be able to do this....
Will adding some extra RAM fix this?

Do a Repair Permissions. Then if the crashing continues, try resetting the PRAM (reboot but hold down the Command+Option+P+R keys). Once you hear the second beep, let go of the keys.

If that persists, add more RAM. Also uninstall apps that you no longer need (use AppZapper). Good luck.

Repaired Permissions, and it fixed a lot of them (it said they were wrong). Now let's see if it works...
BTW, why was this thread moved to OT: PCs/Laptops? I thought Mac/Linux was about Macs... lol... (or... Mac/Linux Palm related... things?).
Anyway, I made a new iDVD project and messed around, and it didn't crash.
I am going to burn a DVD (with an external burner, because Superdrive isn't working with these newer DVDs....)
DVD burn was successful! Now let's see how Garageband holds up

GarageBand is such a great app. I bought the World Music, Symphony Orchestra, and Remix Tools Jam Packs to use with it. And also a pack form Advanced Media Group for extra celtic instruments and shite.

I felt odd about spending over $400 on an app that was free, until I found out that they also work in Logic Express and Logic Pro, so at least I have options.

Glad all is working again. UPGRADE YOUR RAM!!! 256 will choke any modern comp.

$400 on music clips? *cough*RIP OFF!!!!*cough*. I don't have any money for RAM.... (nor a mouse, the mouse stopped working too.... dang)

- Mac/Linux is all about Palm AND the Mac and/or Linux
- $400 is not a rip off if you're serious with what you're doing. It's like if you're deciding if you're going to buy more memory or not.

My current Mac is working great but my long term project is getting a new 7200rpm hard drive and adding more memory.

No Rip off, just the Orchestra is about 9Gigs of sound fonts from what I recall and they sound great. They support the bendy bar thingy, attack, release and all sorts of midi-magic. Apple's Jam Packs are relativiely inexpensive for what you get. The difference in quality between their product and AMGs pack is night and day.

They were worth every penny. And I did use them for a job, so they were all a write off.

Listen to the intro, the video game monkey music. I made it in GB;

It is crashing again... not kernel panic that much, but just freezing. I believe it needs more RAM. I am having trouble finding some, however. I only need 256MB-512MB. I bought a 1GB chip for $80, so I was hoping that since it is 1/4, 1/2 the size, that this would also effect the price. However, the modules I have found are $60-$70. Anyone know a place I can get a great deal, or does someone here have any they would sell for around $40?

Can't help with the RAM, but seeing you mentioned garageband, my favourite site is iCompositions at http://www.icompositions.com/

Register and you'll be able to access a nice collection of loops

There is some GREAT music available from some VERY talented people.

GarageBand was to test it
I found a good deal on RAM on eBay, so I might be good.

Upgraded it to 512MB... still crashes...

Here is another thing: If I restart right after a crash, it will crash again, but if I wait, it will start up fine. What could that mean?

I've reset the PRAM, added more RAM, fixed permissions, verified the HDD, what else is there? Maybe test the internal RAM?
