Hey Folks, I'm thinking of upgrading my wife's pismo (Powerbook G3 Firewire) so that she can run Mac OS X. It looks like it could be worth the money (~$125 to get to 768MB of RAM, ~$125 to get a new hard drive and, if it ends up being pokey, ~$280 for a 500MHz G4 upgrade).
Here's some questions: . Can a pismo handle an ATA-6 internal hard drive? One (and only one) of the ATA-6 hard drives at Other World Computing has a big warning about how anything before the TiBooks cannot handle ATA-6's. The same site has hard drive reviews where people praise their new ATA-6 drives in their pismos. . Do others think that this is a smart move? I can imagine that I might be able to find a used iBook for cheap, BUT I would think that any smaller screen size (under 14") would be a big step down.
