Re: OSX on Lombard + RAM max
So I need a boost from 320MB. Which leads me to another question: I've seen a lot of postings about seemingly different types of RAM on this and/or other Mac groups but understand none of it. Forgive my ignorance, for I am not a tech person, but is there a particular type of RAM I should get? Is there a difference in quality from one brand to the next? Etc.? Also, does processor speed have anything to do with OSX functioning well? My Lombard is 333MHz. I love the Lombard and am currently jazzed about inheriting a used 20GB HD, a big boost from the 4GB that came with (and from which I am constantly dumping things in a desperate attempt to keep that recommended 10% clear...)

Lombard (and Wallstreet) have an older memory controller that doesn't understand more recent hardware innovations for RAM modules. You can certainly upgrade it up to a maximum of 512 MB. But make sure that whoever you purchase the RAM modules from, the stuff is specifically named for Lombard and not Pismo. -- Eugene Lee -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

And you'll want to wait for that 20GB Hard Drive before even attempting to install X. Yeah, it's possible and yeah, it'll work, but you're just asking for trouble once you get all your applications and documents on a 4 GB drive with X installed.
