ibook slower with airport?
Hello, I have an airport card in an ibook (500 mhz, dual usb) and wonder if I got an Airport base station, would the dial in connection to the internet be much slower than using the modem cable?

Installing a printer
So, I have the OS X drivers for my Canon i470D printer. My printer is available via the network as it is attached to a print server device. I install the printer drivers on my G4 iBook by running the installation file. I try to add the new printer and the one I have is not on the list of Canon printers.

Thanks. --- If I understand your question (Would a dial-up connection through the Airport Base Station be slower than a dial-up connection through the built-in iBook modem?) the answer should be NO, at least not that you could tell. Both modems would be 56k max. The Airport would be 100mbs (or 10mbs for older ones) for ethernet. Either speed would be MUCH faster than the data rate possible through either modem. The server part of the Airport would spend most of its time waiting for data from the modem. Ken -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: External drive options for Lombard? success!
Thanks to all for the advice. Saturday I went to the monthly mac users group meeting www.mactechnics.org where I swapped two 520 powerbooks for an old 4Gb drive and SCSI enclosure. The drive sounded like a jet engine but I was able to copy everything off the Lombard, re-initialize the hard drive, install OS9 and copy all the data back. I'm going to install Mozilla 1.3.1 from Wamcom http://wamcom.org/latest-131/ and let my daughter play with it for a while to see if the freezing problems continue. If the reinstall fixes the problems then I'll install the rest of the programs. If the problems are still there I guess I've got to think about hardware problems. Does anyone know what the symptoms are for the infamous Lombard cache failure? Apple System Profiler shows Backside L2 cache 1Mb which sounds encouraging. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

How much better would 1GB be than 768MB ? And, how much worse would 512MB be than 768MB ? I run my 900mhz-upgraded BW G3 with 768MB (much of that swiped from the old PC that's sitting gathering dust in the hallway, because it was left with so little RAM that Windows XP will probably barely even load...oh, wait, I think I felt sorry for it and stuck a bit more in when it was cheap somewhere...), and it seemed better than when it had 512, but I think any easing of bottlenecks in that kind of machine is going to help. (just wish I had a PCI-X slot, the 66mhz one is an insult to my Radeon 9200) My 12 iBook runs cooler and longer at 1.2ghz with 768MB than my old 12 PB at 867mhz and 256MB (this was the machine the iMac RAM was supposed to fit), and of course, significantly faster. Not really having an equivalent machine to compare, I'm still going to make a wild guess and say that the additional RAM will probably be more than worth any potential heat/battery tradeoffs. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

How much better would 1GB be than 768MB ? Depends on what you're doing. And, how much worse would 512MB be than 768MB ? Also depends on what you're doing. RAM affects mostly how fast your system responds when you're either doing RAM-instensive operations, or running many things at once. I know this sounds stupidly basic, but that's because it is pretty stupidly basic. 128-256 MB is a huge leap in performance, because the OS is choked down there. 256-512 MB is less noticeable, because you then have the much less swapping, but if you're doing many things at once it'll be noticeable. (note this doesn't mean running many programs at once, but having them do things all at once.) 512 and up is really only noticeable if you're cranking through large RAM hungry ops, like Photoshop, 3D rendering/modelling, audio, video (though, surprisingly, video is less RAM limited than CPU limited. A single frame of video is actually rather small, compared to say a rendering tree for a 1024x768 image or a 5 MP RAW camera image) or some more exotic stuff like bioinformatics or really really REALLY big spreadsheets.

I just upgraded my 933MHz iBook G4 from 640MB to 1152MB, and noticed a pretty significant difference. With nothing else running, OS X and the Finder will often use up to 500MB, and iPhoto will happily use 250MB during prolonged scrolling. Currently, with Finder, Mail, Adium X, Installer, Terminal, Address Book, iCal, TextEdit, Preview, Taco HTML Edit and Safari open, 1.11GB of my RAM is in use. Personally, with a 15 AlBook, I'd go straight to 1.5 or 2GB. RAM isn't that expensive these days, a 1GB PC2700 SODIMM shouldn't cost any more than US$250.
