I had previously bought RAM on several occasions via sites listed through Ramseeker.com--I do remember that there was an outfit in the L.A. area that I bought from twice, once probably for the first 512MB chip and once for RAM for a desktop I've long since sold (probably my PowerMac 730). Pretty sure it was MemoryToGo.com, since I still have that home page bookmarked--can't find any old e-mail about it, though, and all of my old hardware receipts are sitting in a storage shed 5,000 miles across the ocean so I can't really double check right now. I believe PowerBook Medics sells only Kingston RAM--been a few months since I've been inside the Pismo, but I'm pretty sure what I have in there is one Samsung and one from whichever Korean or Japanese manufacturer whose RAM Kingston actually handles.

Pismo memory questions
Hi, I've just (re)subscribed to the G-Books mailing list. I apologize if this question has been answered here in the past. It may be a frequently asked question. I have a Pismo (PowerBook G3, 500 MHz, FireWire, circa 2000) with a total of 256 MB memory. At some point I will probably replace this with a G4 or G5, but in the meantime I am looking into upgrading the memory. According to the original owner's manual Getting Started With Your PowerBook from Apple, this machine can be upgraded to a maximum of 512 MB using two 256 MB SDRAM cards, SO-DIMM format, 144-pin, PC-100 type RAM. In doing some Google searching, I have found several sites which claim that the Pismo can be upgraded to a total of 1 GB using two 512 MB cards. Does anyone on this list have experience with upgrading a Pismo to a total of 1 GB memory ? Is this possible ? Any problems ? Any recommendations on specific memory brands / manufacturers (Crucial, Omni Technologies, Kingston, Samsung, ...) or online retailers that I should specifically seek out or avoid ?

Re: Pismo memory questions
In doing some Google searching, I have found several sites which claim that the Pismo can be upgraded to a total of 1 GB using two 512 MB cards. Correct. PC100 or better is required, but just about the only 512 MB SODIMMs available these days will be PC133, which is also downward compatible with PC100 machines. Buy a reputable brand, one which will allow a no questions return, should there be a problem with your Mac. Infineon is one manufacturer which comes immediately to mind. Note to Lombard and Wallstreet owners: 512 MB is the max for these machines, but the compatibility issues are significantly greater, and many commonly available low profile SODIMMs will not work in these machines.

Pismo Memory Problem
I own a Pismo with a 900 MHZ Powerlogix upgrade. The computer also has 1 Gigabyte of RAM. Up until a few weeks ago, all was well. Everything seemed to work just fine. Then, I encountered a problem with an external hard drive and used Disk Warrior to fix it. Whatever happened to the external drive also seemed to affect the internal drive. Things were still not like before and I substituted another internal hard drive with OS 9.1 on it. When booted, I kept seeing a dialog box stating that a memory check revealed a cache memory problem and I needed to check with a service technician. I dont see the same dialog box with OS 10.28 (Jaguar) which Ive been running with. I get the spinning beach ball quite often and the hard drive sounds like its constantly being written to. Shutting down also creates a very long delay and I just push the power button to shut the machine down since I have no indication how long the computer will take to perform all the shut down commands. After 7 minutes, it seems like it will take forever. Does someone have an idea what might be the cause of this situation? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo Memory Problem
I strongly disagree. IMO, it's a problem with the cache memory on the Powerlogix CPU card. I've seen this personally on my iForce card from them on my iMac, and there was a thread in 2002-2003 on MacInTouch about cache problems with their upgrade cards (the BlueChip model) - and problems with warranty support and repairs - for older Macs. See http://www.macintouch.com/powerlogixblue.html This also seem to be an issue with older powerbooks from the Pismo on down having CPU failures (Apple cards, too, not just 3rd party) with the cache error being flagged at startup. OTOH, I don't recall any major HD issues with my CPU problem. If you still have the original Apple card, put it in and see if the problem returns. I'll bet everything will be fine, as long as the Apple card was ok before the upgrade. (FWIW: It got to the point where my iMac wouldn't even boot with the cache turned on - they have a software tool that allows you to turn the cache on and off, or set the speed. I sent it in under warranty (it was less than a year old, and had a 3 year warranty) and they said it tested fine - they said my RAM was bad. Funny, the RAM worked (and still does to this day) in my Apple 333 MHz card just fine - running OS X 10.3.9. So I was stuck with a $400 card still under warranty that was (and is) useless.) FWIW (again), I will NEVER buy another Powerlogix component. Never.

Pismo memory ? and dead machine ?
Pismo has been running great.But with only 192 MB of RAM was over due for more . Bought 2 -256 MB chips online (ebay) from a Power book parts place I'd heard of. Stated it was 1 in low Profile RAM could be used in either slot . It is in fact 1 1/4 in RAM . No big deal if that size will work in both slots? OWC sells 1in low profile fits both slots , 1 1/4 in low profile no mention of working in lower slot and 2 in high profile (top slot only) I put the new RAM in one in each slot and the Pismo refused to boot . I finally put the old RAM back in (bottom slot RAM is 1 in) and the machine is still dead :-( The only odd thing I did was by mistake I removed the heat sink from the CPU . I didn't realize the heat sink and cpu card would lift out as one piece. I put back together carefully and put a very small amount of thermal grease on the cpu. I have lots of experience with desktop machines and have replaced cpu's and you name it in them. This is really my first Power book. Any ideas? I don't have a clue what to look for.
