Re: More RAM, trade offs ??? (was Memory from iMac G4 to AlBook ?
From: Bruce Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Are there any trade offs with having 2x512MB in a PBook 15 1.5GHz? as opposed to one 512MB... Having to buy two DIMMS to upgrade past 1GB. Hmm, you obviously don't know me very well... ;o) I was thinking of swapping the RAM about, so I had 2x256 at work and 2x512 at home, i.e. not cost involved. --- I suspect you will be hard pressed to notice the difference between 768 MB and 1G in most daily stuff. Thath's answered my question, especially as it is at work where I need the RAM... Larry _ Don't just search. Find.

Re: More RAM, trade offs ??? (was Memory from iMac G4 to AlBook ?
From: Ben Dyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. *Private* purchase and I am working to a budget... 25% VAT in Sweden In the next two days I'm buying: - PowerBook 15 - DVD±RW external FW/USB - Ext.

Re: battery life for current ALBook 15 inchers..
The quoted battery life is pretty optimistic. If you dim your screen, set processor speed to reduced, turn AirPort and Bluetooth off, don't use any USB or FireWire devices, don't use an external monitor, and set the hard drive to spin down when possible, you might be able to make the supposed maximum of 4.5 hours. In normal use, however, 3 hours sounds about right. Cheers, Ben On 23 Feb 2005, at 12:58, Jason wrote: What kinda time are you getting on your powerbook battery?

Interchangeability of Power Adapters
I have a Dual-USB, 500MHz G3 12 iBook, with the yo-yo power adapter. Wife has a G4 iBook, 14, 1.2GHz with the small, white, square brick power adapter. When we travel, we prefer to take the smaller G3 iBook. I searched the Apple site for compatibility issues regarding power adapters and found this info. 1. Warning: Use only the power adapter that came with your iBook computer. Adapters for other electronic devices (including other iBook models and other portable computers) may look similar, but they may affect your computer¹s performance or damage it. 2. BUT, also found this: Extra Portable Power Adapter - 65W (for iBook PowerBook) Important: Compatible with PowerBook G4 (Aluminum or Titanium models) or dual-USB iBook (500Mhz Power PC G3 or higher). So, in the words of the frightful Marathon Man, is it safe? I am making the leap from: IF Apple sells a power adapter that works on both my wife's G4 iBook and my G3 iBook, THEN the adapter that came with her G4 should power and charge the battery of my G3 and it's safe to use. G4 iBook manual says of the power adapter: Input: AC 100-240 volts 50/60 hertz. Output: CD 24.5 V, 1.875 A.

Re: Interchangeability of Power Adapters
I have a PowerBook G4 and several times a day the adapter (that came with the computer) will suddenly stop giving power. I don't usually notice it till I get a message that the battery is about to run out. I have to unplug it and then plug it back in and everything is fine. It has been doing this for a long time. It is very annoying and if I'm not using it when the message comes up the computer will go dead. Any ideas on what can be done about this? Do I need a new power adapter or is something else going on?

Re: Interchangeability of Power Adapters
My computer always runs very hot so maybe it is the computer. I have it on an ergonomic stand that props it up and gives it air underneat. It is plugged in to a new APC Surge Protector w/Battery Backup so I don't think that is it. If I just unplug the adapter from the computer and then plug it back in that does not work. I actually have to unplug the outlet from the surge protector and then plug it back in to get the power flowing again. I've learned to live with it, but if there was a fix I would go for it. If I have to leave my computer for a little while it is frustrating to find it shut down sometimes when I come back to it. Thank you.
