The Lombard PowerBook uses the same architecture as the first generation
iMacs (and this same memory controller is also used on the beige and B&W
G3s at least). If there is a problem, it's either a memory controller
problem (bogus revision ? incorrect setup ?), or a specific issue with
the design of the memory connector/logic.
The Pismo uses the same chipset as the new iMacs, G4s (sawtooth) and iBook.
