Pacer the Loon,
I recently upgraded my Pismo to the FastMac G4 550. I am extremely
pleased with the upgrade and the service FastMac provided.
FastMac was very helpful and professional, being courteous, helpful,
and informative throughout.
I did some research before choosing FastMac. I read all I could on the
internet. The best two sites I found for information about Pismo
upgrades are XLR8 (http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/cpucards.html) and
MacOpinion Road Warrior
(http://www.macopinion.com/columns/roadwarrior/04/02/10/). The Road
Warrior site is in depth with many articles and user comments can be
found at the bottom of each article. I was researching DayStar and
PowerLogix when I learned about FastMac.
*** Warning: PowerLogix for all intent and purpose is out of business
and has been since last year. There are many reviews and statements on
the internet of them taking people's money and not delivering anything.
I don't know why their website is still up. Hence, I chose not to go
with PowerLogix.
Like I said, I am very happy with my FastMac upgrade. Also I have read
only positive reviews about the DayStar upgrades. I chose FastMac
because they are very close to where I live and the price was a little
less. FastMac requires you take the processor out and send only that to
them. DayStar asks that you send in your whole PowerBook.
That is my report.

My Fellow PowerBook-philes,
Speaking of processor upgrades: G4 500/550 Mhz or G3 900 Mhz for my
GF's PowerBook Pismo?
Theoretically the G3 900 from PowerLogix will allow iSight to run, but
I
can't find a way to purchase it. (PowerLogix's site is not allowing me
to buy from them and no one else is listing it.)
FastMac seems to have a good G4 550 upgrade price which includes the
shipping et al, but would it maybe be better to just get the faster G3?
Anyone have any experience with this?
Sincerely,
Pacer the Loon
