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 the top DIMM to get Panther installed. This is brand name RAM (Kingston) that was fine in Jaguar.
After running for about a week, I decided to re-install the top DIMM. Since then, I've been experiencing random crashes where the screen will dissolve from the center out, or where it turns to a dark grey grid, or a lovely multicoloured stripped pattern, or...
I have read in various places that 384MB is now the limit for Lombards running Panther. It appears now that I'm going to have to buy a 128MB DIMM and give my wife the 256 for her Lombard so she can run 512MB in Jaguar (after all my fun with Panther, she has no desire to try XPF and Panther). And then there is the video driver support...
Lombards appear to be the bastard child for Panther. Be careful!

Officially, the bottom slot can take a 128 low-profile DIMM and the upper
slot can take a 256. Unofficially, many people have put 256MB low-profile
DIMMs in the lower slot for a total of 512MB RAM. OWC seems to be a good
source for this because of the lifetime warranty and guarantee that they
meet Apple's specs.
