Just a note that Panther on my Wallstreet I 233mhz 384 meg ram 2 gig HD very early first edition seems wonderful taking up only 1.2 gig even with 9.2.2 still on the machine - especially after 6 months of not getting past OS 9 (more than 2 dozen different reasons appeared to be the problem but in the end it was only one - it needed a new PRAM - and after the PRAM it needed me to learn that xpostfactor optional mods for rage screen driver were not to be used - and after that I had to realize only 256 colors worked well - but it does work well with 256 colors - and airport 4.0 picked up my wireless with security with no problem).

Tiger on a Lombard maxxed with 512MB is very smooth, Panther not so.

I got the Lombard very inexpensively, so I can afford to put a little money into it to max out the ram to 512 megs. So, what's the consensus: will Tiger or Panther run faster on a maxed out Lombard? Thanking you in advance. Scott Birdwell DeFalco's Home Wine & Beer Supplies P.S. FYI I removed the bottom housing on my iBook and played with the HD IDE ribbon, and, what you know. . . it now boots fine! (I'm writing this on the new upgrated laptop). The old HD seems fine, though. I guess it was somehow corrupted.
