GURU is wrong. 512 MB max, 256 MB upper and 256 MB lower. In fact, I've not heard of *any* report of a Lombard with over 512 MB RAM. I could be wrong. And in this case, I'd love to be proven wrong! :-) But I strongly doubt it. :-/ : Also, the : various Internet site sellers of RAM recommend separate RAM modules : for the Pismo versus the Lombard/Wallstreet, whereas once again GURU : does not differentiate, listing the same high- and low-profile module : as fitting various G3 models, for example, PB2K-528, PB2K-256, etc. GURU is wrong. Lombard/Wallstreet uses an older memory controller that does not recognize stacked memory modules. So a RAM module that works fine in Pismo and other Macs may not work correctly in Lombard (although RAM that works fine in Lombard/Wallstreet will probably work fine in Pismo et.al.). Whatever you buy, make sure the RAM is specifically made for Lombard/Wallstreet. : So my bottom-line question: Is it wise or risky replacing the bottom : socket low profile 64 MB module in my Lombard with a 528 MB unit, or : should I be more convervative and replace it with a 256 unit? 256 MB module. -- Eugene Lee eugene at anime dot net -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
