Why do they say its necessary to wait for 30 seconds every time you do a battery pull? (Before putting it back in). Does it really take that long for the memory to completely flush?

[sedalia066]

Several seconds are recommended to insure full discharge of all the capacitors and other charge storage parts. Much less than 30 seconds or so is a lot like a soft reset with alt-shift-del.

Memory resets with the rebooting process.

Thanks for the quick response... so you don't necessarily get more memory on a battery pull as opposed to a alt-shift-del?

No they both restore memory but the battery pull will also correct minor problems by keeping the battery out for a while to let any resident charge bleed off.
