I don't think increasing the RAM speed would help at all. The Lombards have a 66mhz bus speed, so having faster RAM won't help; the RAM will always reduce back to the bus speed. Prehaps there was some kind of mobo damage in the past, which also affected the other ram module? BTW, I've had trouble installing 10.2 multiple times on my perfectly working Beige G3; I had to try many times until one time it finally completed installing. I also once had a Duo 280c that would run fine when connected with the power adaptor, but when run off of a battery it would freeze often, sometimes when it was just idling. And when booted it would occasionally stay at a black screen and make a "farting" noise :/ Finally out of frustration I put my foot through it and, well, that was that. Mac problems can be very hard to figure out, as you are experiencing here. You might eventually be forced to purchace a whole new mobo :( That's my 3 cents worth Andrew -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
