Re: Lombard Ram Problem

[Dave Bonhoff]

I had the same problem with my Wife's Wallstreet.  I installed 2 sticks 
of 256 (Azen?  I don't remember) and they both showed as 128's.  I 
returned them and got Kingson chips of the exact same spec and they 
both show and work correctly.  Mac's are picky about hardware 
specifications and the cheaper hardware is quite often out of spec, 
despite their claims.

I've also seep problems with a bent pin in the ram slot causing ram to 
do weird things.

My suggestion would be to carefully inspect the ram slots for bent 
connection pins and if that appears good, return/sell what you have 
installed and buy new/better ram on the condition that it works in your 
Lombard.

Good luck!

i bought a new 256mb Ram stick for the top slot of my Lombard to 
upgrade the top slot from 128. When i got it open i found that while 
the profiler said 128 there was already a 256 in the top slot. i 
thought maybe the old stick was somehow bad, so I installed the new 
one. AP still says 128 in the top. Now both of these are PC 133 and 
the book only needs pc66, and i thought that so long as it's at least 
66mhz it works.

Any thoughts on this matter? and tips ... suggestions?
