Re, this is just my opinion of course, but, I personally think that a pismo is reaching the age that money for upgrades would be better spent on a later model TI, leaving your pismo as is,while Im sure the 667 is a very good machine, I can also tell you panther is not very fast on a TI800,however the machine is by far more capable of so many things I do not really use,but it is very comforting that it is so versatle to do whatever I can think up.
I think I agree with you--it probably isn't worth upgrading the Pismo. They tend to sell on eBay for around $500. The Ti 667s go from $900 to $1100 so putting a $300 upgrade into the Pismo takes it up near what the TiBooks run if you get a good price.
I guess the question I'm more curious about is how much the TiBooks improved with the DVI models--they got an additional 1MB level 3 cache, and the VRAM doubled to 32MB. Plus more pixels on the screen. There seems to be about a hundred bucks premium for the DVI 667s. Anyone with experience or knowledge of how the older and newer models stack up?
