PowerBook G3 Lombard Upgrade Guide

Stuck in a rut? Your computer wants to do better. If only it had...

RAM

You've got two RAM slots. Pack 'em in and speed 'er up.

The Lombard has two RAM slots. You can place a 256 MB chip in each one for half gigabyte of memory. Browse our Lombard RAM Selection for a chip that suits your need for speed. You must use a low profile chip in the lower slot, but the upper slot can be whatever you choose. Don't forget to install it using our free Fixit Guide.

Hard Drive

Expand your horizons and your hard drive.

Remember when you bought your Lombard and wondered how you are ever going to use up 10 GB of hard drive space? Ahh, the naivete of youth. Store a lifetime of pictures and movies without having to trade in that comfortable feel of your little black box. Browse our hard drives for one that fits your storage needs.

Oh, and with our tools and instructions, you can even install it yourself!

Processor

Running a 333 MHz Processor? Bump it up.

If you are running a Lombard on a 333 Mhz Processor, try bumping it up to 400 MHz.

You can even install it yourself!

Optical Drive

Find out how to play a DVD in your computer.

Lombards are not inherently able to play DVDs. They require a special DVD decoder that was integrated into the second release of the Lombard. If your Lombard didn't come with a DVD drive, then you probably don't have one. There are pc card solutions to this problem, but their effectivitiy varies greatly. If you have the decoder, you can only watch DVD's in OS9. It will not work in OSX or classic. Apple never developed the hardware for it.
