Powerlogix Pismo upgrade
Powerlogix has a new upgrade available for the Pismo CPU. The new upgrade is a G3 750gx running at 900mhz with 1mb internal L2 cache. An old upgrade available from Powerlogix was a G3 750fx running at 800 or 900mhz with .512mb internal L2 cache No performance benchmarks comparing these are available on the Powerlogix website. Are there any available anywhere? Has anyone any guesses about what such a comparison would look like? Would the 750gx be 10% faster than the 750fx? 25%? 05%?

Re: Dead Pismo: Upgrade or fix
Michael, There are a few places you can buy replacement processor cards for the Pismo, such as strangers on Ebay, or even more reliable sources, such as http://www.wegenermedia.com Some folks might even do the repair work for you. Consider, however, that if you're feeling adventurous, you could easily disassemble the Pismo, sell off the battery, CD/DVD module, RAM, keyboard, screen, airport, HD, motherboard, power supply, and other components on Ebay yourself... and probably make enough profit from the parts to buy a new iBook. :-) Good luck! --Jim.

Re: Pismo upgrade 800MHz, New Form Factor?
rag bag wrote: i can't say i'm interested, especially at that price: i could sell my pismo and pick up a used ti-book for more or less the same total Well, yeah, I'd say it's worth it only if you prefer the Pismo to the newer 'Books. Which I do, for various reasons. Now that sounds really interesting. The Pismo G4 upgrade is still only 500MHz (and, so I hear, will likely never be faster), so its what IS the deal here? why isn't a faster chip being offered? I've wondered about this myself. According to Charles Moore at the link I included, I assume that reports that no Pismo G4 upgrades faster than 500 MHz will be possible due to pin spacing on the faster G4 chips were accurate. don't forget that OS X runs much better on a G4, and the graphics rendering is altivec optimised. Well, from what I've read I'd say it's more like OS X runs *somewhat* better on a G4. But it also seems to run well enough on G3. So long as the iBooks are G3--and it appears they may be for some time still--Apple is not likely to radically G4-ize OS X. So the question is, which would offer better performance: 500MHz G4 or 800MHz G3? Like the quote from PowerLogix said, depends on what you use most. BTW, I didn't really mean to start another flame war over personal preferences in laptop design. Why is it that people become so quickly harsh and abusive in online communication? Over issues that don't really matter at all? It's fine with me if other folks love their TiBooks; I just don't particularly care for them. But nor do I think that somebody who likes the TiBook is by that token alone some kind of subhuman. It's just a matter of taste, after all. For me, the TiBook does look classy from a distance, and I know it turns heads, but I find them uncomfortable to use. Same with the iceBook, though on other points I find it somewhat more attractive. I'm usually sitting at a desk, with the heel of my hand resting on its surface while my index finger and thumb are working with the trackpad; the sharply squared edges on the current 'Books dig into my palm in that position, which is uncomfortable. That's a physical fact, which has nothing to do with whether I'm up with current fashion. Though in fact I'm not, never have been, at least not on purpose. Sometimes I move with the herd, sometimes not, but always for my own reasons. Obi-Wan wrote: Your call for rounded edges is an outdated and even Retro design ideal and that has been passed over in the last decade in favor of sharper edges and newer appearances. No one wants a laptop that looks like it was designed in the 80's (well, maybe a few people do). I applaud Apple for moving *forward* with their design ideas instead of muddling around with designs that have been done to death. The idea that something that is more than a couple of years old is therefore totally invalid by any standard of judgment makes no sense to me at all. The Buddha lived 2500 years ago, but I find everything he said is as true today as it was then. My personal preferences are not a retro design ideal; they're just what I like. It's not an ideology, just a preference. I don't care when something was designed, or what ephemeral phase of fashion it represents; I only care if its design pleases me and works for me.

800MHz G3 Pismo upgrade?
Rumor has it... http://www.macopinion.com/columns/roadwarrior/02/12/23/index.html that PowerLogix will soon offer an 800MHz G3 upgrade for the Pismo. If you prefer a faster AltiVec enabling chip, work with Audio/video software, make your own music CDs, etc, we recommend continuing with the G4/500mhz upgrade. If you primarily use your Pismo for work, documents, email, surfing, etc., then you may want to consider the G3/800mhz option which is expected to retail for $399, all shipping included. Now that sounds really interesting. The Pismo G4 upgrade is still only 500MHz (and, so I hear, will likely never be faster), so its speed improvements are mostly limited to AltiVec-enabled SW, which is not what I mostly use; and the Pismo can't be upgraded to make use of Quartz Extreme anyway. But an 800MHz G3 should show a significant improvement in everyday work even without QE, bringing the Pismo up to near the performance of a late-model iBook (which is still G3 also). Aside from why this should cost $100 more than the G4 upgrade, when it's less trouble for the supplier--requires sending in the CPU card rather than the whole PB--and isn't an outright purchase of a replacement card like the Lombard G4 upgrade, my only question would be about heat: while the G4 chip is supposed to run cooler than the G3, an 800MHz G3 would likely be hotter than a 500MHz G3, unless it's a significantly different later model. If it isn't hotter than the stock 500MHz, this upgrade would keep my Pismo going until I can get a 1GHz G4 iBook (with--I can dream--a more user-friendly case with rounded edges). I'll be looking for early reports. Andrew Main -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Doug Behr wrote: Is there reliable source for NewerTech Pismo upgrades besides OWC? Can you go to Newer directly? About a year ago I vowed never to do business with OWC again...but am considering upgrading the Pis and hope there's an alternative Well, the alternative is PowerLogix; according to the forum on XLR8YrMac (and considerable discussion on MacInTouch about their WallStreet upgrades) users have had somewhat checkered experience with both Newer and PowerLogix, but of the two I'd probably choose the latter. At least you can contact them directly, which seems to be difficult/impossible with Newer. When I was looking for my Pismo I had some correspondence with the owner of PowerLogix, who seemed to be quite personable; I ended getting a 500 Pismo at a good price instead of the 400 I thought I was going to get, so have put off the G4 upgrade for now. If you're considering the upgrade, do check the forum: http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/cpureview.lasso and select PowerBook G3 2000 Rage 128 Mobility in the popup menu.

Any deals to be had out there on these, or is that the going rate no matter where you purchase? I assume you meant $300, as the current price (as per the Powerlogix web site) is $299.00, which is virtually the same as Newer's price. The price isn't bad, compared to what you'd pay for any other 500 MHz G4 (a ZIF, for example) and considering the labor and shipping involved. My only complaint is that it's not enough of a speed bump. I can't really justify upgrading my 500 MHz G3 to a 500 MHz G4. Hopefully they'll have some 800 MHz or even 1GHz Pismo upgrades available soon (the new G4 chips are supposed to use a lot less power, hence less heat generation which is often the limiting factor for processor speed in laptops). -Jeff[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You can't brew a premium lager with a kool-aid mentality. --Harold Green in _The_Red_Green_Show_ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo upgrade
I was wondering if the system bus in the Lombard would create heat problems with the Powerlogix G4 upgrade. I noticed that some people have the upgrade done, and have no problems with heat. Then there are those who have to send there computers back several times before they get it right. I realize that the Pismo has a faster system bus and thought that maybe this would accomodate a G4 upgrade better. Maybe someone can give me some feedback on this theory.

Re: Pismo upgrade
I have the Powerlogix upgrade and I'm quite happy with it. The first upgrade I got had overheating problems, but Powerlogix had me send the Pismo back and tested it thoroughly. They were able to duplicate the crashes I was seeing and installed a new CPU. This second chip runs cooler than the original 400mHz G3. Battery life is about the same. I've had it back for almost 2 weeks and no crashes yet. I've played UT on it, converted a 650MB AVI to a 5.5GB Quicktime movie, and done every other stress test I can think of. So far, rock solid. I'm running 10.2.2 with 1GB of ram. cheers, -Hal On Tuesday, December 17, 2002, at 06:22 AM, Ed Zelinsky wrote: I have half a gig of ram in my Pismo and running system 9.1 for now.

Re: Bluechip Pismo upgrade rocks
Ok, I spoke too soon. We're having issues. I'm working with Powerlogix to try to resolve them. I posted the initial review on xlr8yourmac.com. Go to the CPU Upgrade review and select Powerbook 200 (Firewire). Mine's the first review. The problem I'm having seems to have to do with power draw or heat. Everything works fine most of the time, but if I run it closed and hook up an external monitor and keyboard, it crashes within minutes, particularly if I'm running a game like UT. Hopefully they'll have some more info for me later today. -Hal On Friday, November 8, 2002, at 06:09 AM, ezelinsky wrote: on 11/6/02 11:39 PM, Hal at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just got my Pismo back from Powerlogix today.

Re: Bluechip Pismo upgrade rocks
Here's an update on the upgrade. First of all, Powerlogix has been very responsive, getting back to me within hours each time I've emailed them. They had me pull the heatsink and remove the thermal pad and use Arctic Silver II (which I happen to have a tube of) and reattach the heatsink. The pismo is running ok when used alone, but when I connect an external monitor and keyboard and mouse, it crashes when playing the UT intro movie. It seems to be a heat related issue. After the crash, the cache software is reporting a cpu temp of over 52C. When the machine is cold (under 48C), it works fine, but after running for a while, it gets unstable. I'll post a follow-up when we figure out what to do next.

Re: Pismo Upgrade
Interesting indeed. I just got off the phone with OWC, Newer Tech has had my book for 3 weeks now, OWC had it for 11 days before they even shipped it to Newer Tech, in total I've been without my book for over a month now. Today OWC told me that Newer Tech finally called to tell them that the upgrade boards they had/have are all defective. So now there is another delay, and no definite time as to when the new parts arrive. So if you're considering the upgrade, believe me, it takes alot longer than 10 days!

Re: Pismo Upgrade
I wish I could say that I was surprised by OWC's dropping the ball on shipping out your Pismo or sending it on to newerTech, but I'm not. I had a nightmare of a customer service situation with OWC that started in January and wasn't resolved until late April. By the time I finally got a response from OWC, and they were prepared to send the HD (a replacement for a defective drive shipped in December), I no longer had the machine I had planned to install it in. Not as bad as being without the 'book for a month (plus), but I'm still feeling burned by OWC. I'd been happy with them after a previous purchase, but have taken all my business elsewhere since. Just my experience. DB --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Interesting indeed.
