what is googlegear? i just got a bismo 500 w/12 gb hd. i received today a 512 chip from owc so i will be up to 640, but still need to deal with the hd. i had ordered the 4200 40gb travelstar from dell- don't ask, they had an insane price - but instead received a module fro one of ther computers. it has been almost a week trying to get somebody to correct this with no luck so i am thinking on contacting visa for a credit and returning it to them. gg On Monday, December 30, 2002, at 01:48 PM, Hal wrote:I had a similarly configured Pismo and did all 3 upgrades. Here's my thoughts on each: On Monday, December 30, 2002, at 08:33 AM, Stephen Bright wrote:1) G4 upgrade. I was planning on going Powerlogix, mainly because it is only $279 for Austin TX, residents. Any reason to prefer Newer?I did the Powerlogix upgrade. When I first got it back, it crashed a lot, so (after a week of testing it) I sent it back to Powerlogix. It turned out to be a bad G4 chip. Since getting it back, it's been running great, and noticeably faster under OSX.I got the 512 chip from OWC (not the low power one) and it's been fine.
2) Ram upgrade. I was planning on getting 1 new 512 MB stick from OWC.
Any
reasons to consider the much more expensive "low power" RAM?
I have 1GB in the Pismo now.
3) CD upgrade. Looking at the IBM 40 GB Travelstar 5400/8 MB cache. Any thoughts on what may be a better choice?I got this drive (for $155 from googlegear) and love it. It's noticeably faster than the 6GB OEM drive it replaced. Good luck with the upgrades! -Hal -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
