I'm running 256 in both slots right now, but I can't recommend it for Panther. The installer refused to complete with this configuration. No amount of zapping pram, open firmware resets, processor card manipulation, RAM swapping, drive reformatting, etc would work. I was forced to remove

I was thinking about getting a 256 and using it with my 128 for a total of 384. Think that would be enough? And I'm sure this problem has been discussed before, but I have heard often that any more than 256 megs of RAM in a Lombard causes problems with OS X. Should this still be a concern,
