Hi! How did you end up with "597" MB of RAM? It's usually 128, 256, 512, 768 or 1 GB. I'm curious to see how you got 597... As for the DVD burner, you might be able to get an external FireWire one. There has been a few patch that will "fool" OS X in thinking that the drive is recognized. OS X will only recognize internal drives that were sold by Apple by default. You might also be able to find a drive that would fit in your DVD drive expansion bay. Look in the G-Books list archive and I'm sure you'll find plenty of messages from users that got one in their Pismo. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] geek n.: A person who has chosen concentration rather than conformity; one who pursues skill (especially technical skill) and imagination, not mainstream social acceptance.
