Help upgrading a Lombard

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.

 

Cheers for the help guys,
Ben

Just thought of another question!

I've seen plenty of versions of Mac OS X 10.3 for sale, but some of them say they came from G4 powerbooks or other types of Mac.

Will any version of 10.3 run on a G3 Lombard, as long as it meets the min. requirements, or would I need to get a specific version?

Sorry if this question is a little stupid!
