Hi,
I just bought a PowerBook G3 "Lombard" on Ebay, just for me to mess around on and do the odd bit of work on the train, but I would like to upgrade it. Eventually I want Mac OS X 10.3.5 running with a few handy IDEs and office apps.
I have a fair amount of experience with upgrading desktop PCs, but have never touched an Apple laptop so I have a couple of questions.
1. I want to upgrade the RAM to the max, about 300 or so MBs I think. I know that I need a PC100 SDRAM SODIMM module to do this - but does the manufacturer matter? I can find plenty on Ebay, but apple specific ones are very pricey.
2. I want a bigger hard drive, what can I use?
Thanks very much for any help/advice - its all greatly recieved.
