Upgraded G3 Wallstreet - 2008/09/05 10:38Two years ago on ebay I bought a G3 Wallstreet 266; upon getting into the system profiler I find that the processor is 400mhz. Will I be able to increase the ram to 512mb and also use an airport card? Thanks, Danny91

Re:Upgraded G3 Wallstreet - 2008/09/05 17:06Danny if it is a stock standard 400MHz processor, it is a Lombard with bronze keyboard and is capable on taking 512MB RAM in 2x256MB modules. Have a look at this model by going to Apple above and G3 PowerBooks.

Re:Upgraded G3 Wallstreet - 2008/09/06 01:25I don't know of any 400MHz Wallstreet upgrades so it is probably a Lombard as Harry mentioned. If it has USB with no FW ports it's a Lombard. If it has FW also it is a Pismo.
The Lombard cannot use an Airport card but the Pismo can. The Lombard can use 3rd party PCMCIA wireless cards. Which card you get would depend on the OS running on the machine. Cards like the WaveLan Silver & Gold can run in pre-OSX OS's and several newer cards can run in OS X. I had a Lombard 400 with a Belkin PC wireless card that would run on OS 10.3 & later. I used a $15 driver from Orangeware
This page has some good info on wifi cards for older Powerbooks.
