Re: Pismo and Wallstreet RAM questions...

[Geoffrey Loeffler]

Way to go man, see your a Lawyer already lol  Well one thing for sure 
you have a GF for life.>>W
Get the gig of new ram, sell what you have on low end swap, the pismos 
can be a little RAM touchy sometimes on OS X might be Ok but not worth 
risk...

you want to only want that puppy up once and reseat it as little as 
possible, it takes just about enough pressure to reseat as my stomach 
can take, when you reseating the card. When removing card notice the 2 
little green tabs to the left towards airport card

Those go in the metal cage, probably have a slight green stain on the 
metal slots on the cage, that will help you remember where they go back 
in and help get alignment of pins correct. You do not want to bend 
pins. Do not remove white heat pad. Lots of directtions and even some 
QT movies on web, those are a couple of things they sometimes leave 
out.

My Fellow PowerBook-philes,
I was wondering -- is the RAM on a Wallstreet compatible with the RAM

a Pismo?
Ask Vendor who you buy New RAM from, bad ram is one of the leading 
problems of pismos
next to reseating the card  DMS, OWC. good vendors Ya I know another 
$160.00
GFs Not always cheap but Gotta Love-em
have a relative abundance of Wallstreet RAM
(over 1 gig, split between upper and lower) and I have a Pismo on the
way that only has 192 RAM.
sell all of it on Low end swap use $$ for new
I am tempted to just buy new RAM and max it out cheap-like, but it will
set me back about $180 or so and the idea was to have a cheap Book for
my GF.
Do it. Love these pismos, 1 gig still makes them go pretty good for an 
old timer
a little cool pad, $20 to $40 helps keep airflow and thighs in summer 
from

(Yes, I ended up getting a Pismo for her ....
Did the right thing.
I decided I wanted to
surprise her by making her games work -- plus, it will impress upon her
the selection of PC software titles also available on Mac.  The goal
here is to win her over to Mac for life -- especially if we end up 
going
the distance.  [g])
Very important....Plus your knowledge of computers will thrill and 
amaze her as you did all this yourself
just for her! Manly Man stuff you know
I am already looking at eating about $100 for an airport card, so I'd
rather not push the RAM up to where I could have gotten her an iBook 
Ice
or something.
1 gig of Ram is what makes these pismos keep up and run 10.3.9 just 
fine. Probably 10.4 also but too new OS if leaving soon?
7200 RPM HD really helps but we won't go there.
$75.00 should get you a airport card for the pismo LES, can not use A/P 
extreme card inside the pismo only original LES
Still, it would be ... ironic for her Pismo to be decked out with more
RAM than my brand new 1.2ghz iBook (at 748).  And if I add the 40gig HD
....  hehe.
Sincerely,
Pacer the now-broke
"Oh crap, now how am I going to pay for Law School...?"
Girl friend writes Novel makes millions, sends you to law school, you 
get rich putting yacht deals together in Italy
live happily ever after. All because of a Gig of RAM  a airport card 
and a Pismo Pretty good deal
Good luck
Geoff
