Once you log into your PC then you will have successfully erased the memory. Now the same on your MacIntosh. You can also simply restart the computer to clear the memory. On the MacIntosh there is also another type of RAM called Parameter RAM or P-RAM and once the computer restarts you want to hold down the command option, P and R keys as soon as you hear the first start up sound. Continue holding the keys down on the keyboard and you'll notice that the computer restarts.
