I took 256mb of ram out of my Wallstreet to up the Lombards total to 320. It came with 10.2.8 on it. The pram battery is dead too. It was nice to see how easy it is to replace when I opened up the keyboard. Not sure how I will use this machine yet. My Wallstreet is totally classic OS so I will keep Jaguar on this one. I had Jaguar on the Wallstreet and felt it was too slow. This machine handles it better.

You could put Tiger on it, but you don't have a DVD drive. Sure you need firewire to install Tiger, but there's a workaround (XPostFacto). I read on Wikipedia and I've had some people tell me that Tiger runs smoothly on it. I'm going to do it next week, when I get that stick of 512MB.

Think about it.
