Re: Lombard speed-up/optimization

[wingnut]

I have a Lombard 400 and the "wonky" happens to me if I try to transfer 
a large file (as in installing the OS) with more than 384mb (256 in the 
bottom and 128 in the top) I had the full 512, has problems, put the 
128 in the top and it's stable and reasonably quick. i didn't notice 
too much the loss of RAM.

On a Lombard, I'd be tempted to go with Jaguar rather than Panther, 
unless you need the MS networking support that Panther offers.  Jaguar 
was pretty stable and reasonably fast on my Lombard, but Panther has 
some RAM issues. I had to remove the RAM from the top slot to get it 
to install, and I'll still get some occasional weird crashes where the 
screen goes all wonky (technical term). Repairing permissions is 
likely to cause the same thing to happen. There seems to be quite a 
range of performance with Panther on Lombard, with some people unable 
to get it to work at all, and others having no problem. Quite a few 
seem to share my experience.

Laurent is absolutely right, of course. You want more than 128 MB for 
OSX in any flavor.  Many people recommend buying from OWC, as they 
have good memory and support it well. (I didn't).
