I gather you have a 256MB RAM card; have you tried removing the 64MB
card and putting the 256MB card in the slot the 64MB card was in? I
have a Lombard CPU card which was giving me lots of trouble until I
noticed that one of the contacts in the upper RAM slot was damaged; RAM
in the lower slot
Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I have a 256 MB card but it isn't low
profile so it won't fit the lower RAM slot. I've had the 64 and the 128
in the lower slot with the upper one empty or containing RAM up to 256
MB. Nothing get me through the installation process of OS X above

As mentioned, CPU L2 cache failure is apparently common on the Lombard

My question is - has anyone used third party cache control software to
