TechTool Deluxe-Video RAM fails

New iMac running Leopard. It came with AppleCare and TechTool Deluxe 3.1.1. I did a check on my iMac, and Video RAM failed. I am wondering whether this is due to Leopard imcompatibility?(I did get a warning when I started TechTool). or there is something wrong with iMac. Thanks.

MacBook 2GHz, 1GB, 80G HD, Mac OS X (10.4.11), iMac 2.4GHz, 1GB, 320G HD, OS X 10.5.1, Windows XP

Try running the Apple Hardware Test and see what it says. I have heard of incompatibility if the Tech Tool Deluxe is not for Leopard. You could probably take the Tech Tool Deluxe back to Apple and ask for something that is current and will work with Leopard. They should be willing to swap out the disc for you if they have something more current on hand, or have a suggestion as to what to do. There might be a download.

Good luck!

TechTool Deluxe is not compatible with Leopard yet.

All of us that have AppleCare are waiting for Apple to release a compatible version.
