My new to me Pismo has 256 Mb of memory in the J1 slot and J2 is empty. I think there is a difference in what can be put in. Can somebody give me some info or point me to an appropriate site.
I want to add to the J2--What will work and any suggestions about purchase. Since i have not opened this one, can somebody point me to the instructions appropriate.
There are also guides on Other World Computing's site to find which specific types of RAM you need. Don't recall if they have installation stuff, but you can find that on Transinternational's site and Apple's. Look on Apple's site for CIP - Customer Installable Parts and PowerBook (Firewire). If you have the user's manual that came with the Pismo, it also (IIRC) has instructions on installation procedures there.

You can put 2 sticks of- 512k ram one in the upper one in the bottom slot, this makes the pismo nice and speedy. I have used DMS, there is a link below to their site, OWC also carrys these sticks also. As said the owners manual tells you how to install, do a search and you will find sites that show you in video orpictures what you will see and what to do. It's pretty easy, always a little sweaty the 1st time.
When reseating the processor make sure the green clips on the left side (facing the computer) go into their slot. This is important to reseating the processor. Don't be afraid to push down to hard.
How too install
