Yes, Get PC66 modules. Some PC100 modules will also be recognized and
utilized properly. I don't know the precise technical reason for
this, but Lombards are known to be very finicky about memory modules,
particularly the higher density ones. As far as stability goes, you
may not see any problem at all, but I've found that attempting a
major system upgrade or fresh install of OS X with these chips can
reveal some strange behavior, like failed installs or video display
corruption. HTH.

Hi all,
I recently bought a G3 Lombard 333 MHz for sofa surfing etc; it was
originally equipped with 128 MB RAM (2x64) which I exchanged by
2x256 MB/PC133/CL-3 modules.
Unfortunately, the Lombard only recognises each of the modules as 128 MB.
I would have expected that, if the modules are incompatible, they
wouldn't be recognised at all, cause instability or whatever. But in
fact, the PB is running fine.
Is there any trick to force the PB to recognise the full capacity?
Thomas.
