I guess that would depend on the money you can spend. If I were in your situation, though, I think I'd probably go for a used 800 MHz iBook G4: by now reasonably priced but still petty powerful and well suited for "normal" use.

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone with a Lombard - and I have 3 different
certified mac chips various sizes plus 2 others. And all I have is OS10.3.
Tired of trying to get it to work. So what model would be a good
next step up that would take 10.3 and run all the current programs???

<< Hi Linda,

Similar problems over here with our Lombard: I was able to install OS
10.0.3 using the original 64 MB RAM chip the Lombard came with. From
10.1 up, one needs al least 128 MB but all the RAM upgrades I've
tested, in various configurations up to and including 512 MB,
invariable gave me a freeze or kernel panic. So, I would advise you not
to waste any money on a copy of OS 10.2. Rather, try to locate someone
with a Lombard who has been able to install Panther, see if you can
borrow that working RAM chip to install Panther and then swap it for
the RAM you have (apparently, for installing the Lombard is much
pickier then for actually running 10.3).

Hi,
I have a Lombard thats driving me crazy.  I really love it but will
probably
end up getting rid of it because I have struggled way to many hours
trying to
get OSX on it with no success.  I upgraded the battery, bought two new
"certified mac" chips 256 and 128 from OWC, a new shell, a 10 gig
drive, etc.  I was
hoping to keep it alive.  I even bought a 2.5 external enclosure and
installed
10.3 (Panther) on it from another computer and reinstalled it into the
Lombard.  It starts to startup in 10 but then I get a blue screen and
mouse is
frozen or a kernal panic. Needless to say no success.  Someone
suggested 10.2 but I
don't have
a copy of that and getting tired of investing $ into it.

Is there away to upgrade the cards inside?  And what would I get?

Or should I get rid of it - and what would be the next step up?  Would
need
it to handle most graphic programs like adobe, macromedia, office etc
in the
OSX operating system?
I can't afford a brand new one right now, what would be a step up from
the
Lombard?

I really love my Lombard and would hate to see it go - wish I could
find a
way to keep it.
TIA for all your suggestions/answers.
Linda
