Hello all.
I just bought a used 333MHz Lombard for my daughter to use, mostly at home, along with a new Orinoco Gold card to access the Airport network.
First off, will the Orinoco card (Proxim - brand new) work as an actual airport card, or should I start hunting for drivers?
Second, the Lombard has a 20GB drive and 512MB of RAM, what would be the best OS for this machine? My plan is to just put Panther on it, but am worried about it being too slow. Should I stick to OS 9? It will mainly be used for doing elementary school research (web) and writing in Word. I have Office 2001 and Office 2004, so can go either OS 9 or OS X on this.
Finally, any tips for making a Lombard speedier (or at least less slow) under Panther? Settings for video or other things, rather than actual hardware upgrades would be appreciated. I'm not looking at making this thing into a speed demon, just want adequate web browsing and good application performance for writing and very light graphics (clip art and jpegs in word docs). Knowing kids, it will probably also be used for web-based game play (she's addicted to Neopets).
I paid $350 for the Lombard including the CD drive and two supposedly good batteries.
