keep the pismo its a very durable caddylac last version of the classy
stealthy black powerbooks. definitley upgrade the hd 40-80gb, faster
drives with larger caches help a bit. max the ram to 1gb, you can't do
much as far as video card upgrades (so don't expect 50fps with unreal
tournament 2004+no quartz extreme), then finally splurge on

i've taken my pismo backpacking, camping, around the planet, on
beaches, at burning man, dropping it on occasion, skateboarding round
town for borrowing wifi : ) - they are very durable, well built
powerbooks. usually repair parts can be had on ebay/online for
relatively inexpensive not to mention the ease of opening a pismo. oh-
i almost forgot you can hold 2 batteries. isight works great, very
nicely designed. but for laptop i use the logitech quickcam notebook
pro

EN,CRID=690,CONTENTID=5040 i think less power consumption, smaller
package. if you plan on using ichat you'll need

burners that retrofit into the caddy.
cheers,
rama.

G'DAY GUYS,
MY PISMO IS STANDARD SPEC, BAR THE RAM UPGRADE I'VE PERFORMED RECENTLY
(576MB)
I'D LIKE TO UPGRADE THE HARD DRIVE, ALTHOUGH I HAVE ALL MY DOCUMENTS
AND PICTURES ON MY IPOD (SLOWER, BUT EFFECTIVE), I ONLY HAVE A GIG
LEFT
(IT WAS DOWN TO 100MB) AND HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED ADOBE CS
(THE BIG GIG GUZZLER).
CAN I UPGRADE TO 500MHZ AT THE SAME TIME, I'D LIKE AN ISIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
CHEERS!
