I don't know about the answer to your first question. What I would suggest is to download XBench and run a full test of your Lombard. Then, compare your score to the other online scores available from the XBench site. That should give you an idea. As for your memory problem, it is probably because the chip is high density, which the latest PowerBook models can use, but probably not your Lombard which sees only half of it. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] elder days n.: The heroic age of hackerdom (roughly, pre-1980); the era of the PDP-10, TECO, ITS, and the ARPANET.
