Because that's how far it gets before it freezes..it won't mess up  
until it actually accesses the ram.:-) Double check all connections,  
and reseat the RAM and CPU. These are the usual causes of such  
problems. if it persists, then the the system isn't happy with the Ram.

Well it definitely has all the symptoms of bad RAM; I would hope it's under
warranty and you can get a replacement. If you bought cheap and didn't get
one; I would kindly suggest you get a replacement from someplace like
Crucial.com, may save you $ and time in the long run.

Yes I also have a 128 chip that came with the machine. Funny, I tried the
test cd once and no probs were found. However, I reseat the bad ram, zap the
pram and nv-ram and the computer will recognize the 512 chip ok for a few
hours, then I get a VERY hard freeze, (needing the reset button on the back
of the pismo) I restart, and the 512 magically becomes 256 again.

I have had so many problems with my wonderful machine, that I hope I need a
motherboard replacement. Just think how bad it would be if this Pismo didn't
just sit on a table its whole life!

I don't know if the RAM will fit your friends machine or not but your
description of symptoms would lead me to believe the card is defective. You
could confirm it with your hardware test CD if you have one. Do you have
another card as well in your Pismo or just the one? If you have a second
card you could also try swapping them and see what symptoms you get.

Pismo ram fit in 500mhz iBook?

[Ryan Stewart]

Will the ram from my Pismo fit in a friends 500mhz ibook? I think the ram is
"high profile" so that could be a problem. I just need to fit it in for a
minute as I need to test if the ram is faulty. The ram is showing up as 256
on my computer and I get the dialog in os9 boot: "Built in memory test
failed. Contact service technician."

It is a 512mb (PC100? 2-2-2) Chip. I have latest firmware (4.1.8f5) The ram
worked fine for 2 years, until last week when I used my s-video port for the
first time. It has lifetime warrantee, but I don't want to send it in unless
it is really the ram!

Thanks all,
Ryan

Which would make sense, since when the Pismo was updated, only the top slot
was replaced.

I'm pretty sure SODIMM0/J2 is the bottom slot. When I added my 512MB 
module I put it in the bottom slot and Apple System Profiler shows 
SODIMM0/J2 as 512MB. So I'd guess your 64MB modules is in under the 
processor card.

Pismo Ram

[Anthony Vo]

Hi Listers,
According to Apple syst. profiler: SoDimm 0/J2 SDRAM  64mb 
 SoDimm 1/J2 SDRAM  256mb
Which one is in the upper slot? 64mb module?

I'm trying to replace the 64mb with the  512mb ram module (got from DMS) in my pismo. 
I want to make sure it's the 64mb module in the upper position so I don't have to 
uplug the processor card to replace the lower one.
Thanks
Anthony

I had my Pismo RAM in all different combinations, including 512 in the 
bottom and 512 in bottom, 64 on top.  I never found one that didn't 
work.  Also, make sure the processor card is securely in place, 
especially if the 'Book won't start up after you install it.  Getting 
the card seated just right can be a hassle sometimes...

I don't think it matters. So, yes, replace that 64 MB stick.

Re: Pismo RAM recommendations

[Ian Haddock]

Interesting to see the same type of problem with OWC. Good sales 
service, but if they send you a bad item... they drag their feet 
forever, which angers me like nothing else.

I spent 4 months sending and receiving the same 512Mb piece of RAM for 
my pismo which had a _documented_ thermal problem (which took $90 of my 
money to test by an independent) They claimed each time to have tested 
the card and found no problems. Once I requested info on the test 
procedures I found out the tests did not contain thermal tests.

The just slapped it on a test board and sent it back. i.e. They never 
even read my detailed emails sent with the RAM.

This finally ended when sent a rather angry email to as many email 
address as I could find demanding a solution to this ongoing problem. 
They finally replaced the RAM and everything has been working perfectly.

So in the end it cost me $100 more than sticker and tons of my time.

I won't be recommending OWC to anyone I know.
Ian

Re: Pismo RAM recommendations

[Hal]

I've got full size 512 in my lower slot as well. Adding memory to the 
top slot is trivial, the lower slot is a little more compliated, but 
not tough.


I'm a big fan of OWC as well. I've only had 1 problem with them in over 
20 orders, and that was a glitch in their ordering system that sent the 
package to the wrong address. They had it reshipped to me within 3 
days. Great prices on good products.

Pismo RAM recommendations

<...Then you must has some strange RAM, because the full size chips I have fit

Tom is absolute correct, I also used just full size chip (512MB) on both
upper and lower slot on my pismo.

Then you likely didn't have it fully seated.  There are quite a  number 
of Pismo users with both memory slots populated, neither DIMM being 
low-profile.  The backside slot does not require a low profile DIMM in 
the Pismo as it does in some of the older iMacs.

The top slot is easy, of course, but the lower is a bit of a hassle 
because you have to pull the CPU card, which is connected to the heat 
sink, which is connected to the... Anyway it's a bit awkward. Handle 
with care so you don't bend the heat sink tube arm.

I've been buying from DMS (http://www.datamem.com/apple.asp) for 
years, with excellent results. Last week I had my first bad RAM from 
them, and they shipped a replacement overnight, with a prepaid return 
for the bad one. Dunno how this would work for an overseas sale, but 
in general I'd recommend them.

Re: Pismo RAM recommendations

Then you must has some strange RAM, because the full size chips I have fit
perfectly in both the upper and lower slots in my Pismo and the Apple
Service Manual does not specify low profile RAM in the lower slot either. I
have put two 512 chips in three Pismos so far and have never purchased the
low profile chips, even though they were available from the vendor and all

That is not the case with a Pismo, as both chips can be full size, although
you can still use the higher priced low profile chip if you wish.

Re: Pismo RAM recommendations

OWComputing has so so after sales service but good prices and quality  
products.

The lower DIMM [under the processor card] needs to be low profile, the  
other can be a full size DIMM.

Re: Pismo RAM recommendations

[Doug Behr]

For What it's worth, I have had mixed results with
Other World COmputing.

I have 1 GB in my Pismo that I got from them and have
was happy with the service and the RAM.  

After that, I ordered a HD from them and it took over
four months to get a replacement after they initially
sent a dead unit.

A "plus one" and a "minus one" leaving me leaning
toward negative.  After my last experience, I vowed
not to buy from them again, and have all taken my
hardware and software biz elsewhere.

I bought some desktop RAM from Crucial about 4 years
ago and was very happy with that
transaction...although I'd guess that their RAM is
more expensive than OWC.

Good Luck.

Re: Pismo RAM recommendations

On service alone, I highly recommend Other World Computing.  They give 
a lifetime warranty on their memory.  I've found them to ship quickly, 
and be very easy to work with.

Putting the memory in is a bit complicated.  But it can be done fairly 
quickly.

Pismo RAM recommendations

[Mark_PHILIP]

Hi all,
I want to get 2x 512MB RAM modules to replace my 1x64 & 1x128MB modules in
my Pismo.
I've never taken the Pismo RAM out before, and was wondering if both
modules are of the same size?

Also, I plan to buy it online from a US site (I currently reside in
Singapore). I've bought memory from the ChipMerchant before ( a few years
ago for my PB1400) and they had excellent service then. Can anyone
recommend a good online memory retailer that's good in price and aftersales
service?

Many thanks,
Mark.

Pismo Ram & IBM HD

[Joel Furtek]

Hey all,
Just wanted to report that I've installed my second 512MB ram card 
from OWC and my Pismo is up and running fine with 1GB.  Both have 
PC133 stickers on them.  Shipping was $1.50 more for Express than 
ground, so I ordered Friday night, it shipped on Saturday (not 
expected) and with the holiday was here on Tuesday.
My GNX 40MB drive is also, knock on wood, operating flawlessly.
I use this machine for daily office work, but also do a daily dose of 
iMovie and iPhoto, and it's the master for my iPod, so the ram and 
hard drive space are a big benefit.
Apple really got it right on this powerbook!  A great package when 
new, I can't express the ease of upgrade relative to my (now sold) PB 
2400.  Same when going from a Powermac 8500 to the G3 Blue & White.
Now I just need to schedule the down time for the G4 upgrade...
:-)
Best,
Joel

No, the pismo can take full-size modules in both slots, which saves you
quite a lot of money :-)

Other World Computing (http://www.macsales.com) has a 512MB
module at $108. This is a full-sized module, though. They also have
low-profile memory that "fits both memory slots" (I'm not sure whether
this is a possible problem with the Pismo.)

I ordered a 512MB unit for my iBook last friday, and it was
delivered this Tuesday morning at work, in a small town in
Norway. This is _good_ :-)

You're right. I've payed $67 to OWC on November for a 512MB stick for my 
Pismo: plus FedEx shipping to Barcelona (Spain)... $100 TOTAL!

Yep, memory went up since November 2001.  Maybe I'll just sit tight and 
not buy anything until the end of the summer.  Maybe, just maybe, prices 
will be lower.

Boy! Is it me, or has the price of memory went up? $186 for 512 MB? I
thought it used to be barely above $100 not very long ago, or am I wrong?

Re: Pismo RAM and help with a decision...

[Thomas Peri]

Crucial Technology (www.crucial.com) is pretty good.  Right now, you can 
get a 512MB module for a Pismo for $186.69 with free shipping.  As for 
quality, I used to run a lab of 30 G3s at a university, all of which I 
upgraded with RAM from Crucial, and we never had any problems with it in 
the year that I continued to work there.

I just did a google search for "powerbook memory" and turned up a few 
places that have it for much cheaper.  Though I've never dealt with 
them, Ramjet (www.ramjet.com) is one that sounds familiar to me as a 
reputable name, and they've got Pismo 512MB modules for $149 plus $9 
shipping.

Now, about the dilemma.  I don't know how current this information is, 
but everymac says the beige G3 300 is worth $650-$750:

Personally, I think I'd go with the G3 now, and get the pismo RAM later. 
  But I don't know how urgent your RAM needs are.

Pismo RAM and help with a decision...

[markemmanuel]

This post is a mix of off topic and on topic questions.

First, which is the best vendor to buy 512MB of RAM for my Pismo?  I 'm 
looking for the best price and best product.

I'm kinda torn with a decision, someone is selling a G3 300 Beige 
Minitower for $350.  I have a stick of memory left from my old Beige G3 
so I'll have a quite a bit of RAM to feed it.  I'd be nice to put Linux 
on there.  On the flip side, My Pismo only has 128MB of RAM and I'm 
thinking of upgrading it to 640MB.  So, I'm torn.  Buy the RAM for the 
Pismo or buy the G3?  Perhaps I can find a low end Intel based computer 
to install Linux.  I dunno.  Input?

Thanks.
