    Thanks Matt

    I've been reading some about this. From what I understand, I remove all
    the RAM chips except one and give the install a try. If it works I can
    put the other RAM chips back in? Would I be able to do things like
    repair permissions? Do I have to repair permissions from the install
    disk or can I repair them from the system once OS X is installed. I've
    never installed OS X, these are just questions I've picked up reading.
    I seem to remember trying to install OS X on this machine a few years
    ago and the disk mounted. The installation failed but it turned out I
    had a bad harddrive. Does any of this help?

    Thanks again
