However, once I put the other 256 mb in, it starts up fine, lets me log in and then the cursor freezes. I wondered it if was bad ram, but then why does it boot up? Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks.

Re: Pismo ram fit in 500mhz iBook?

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 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. Joe Ellis -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo Ram

Re: Pismo RAM recommendations
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.

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.

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. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo RAM recommendations
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 and help with a decision...
Thomas Peri writes: 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. 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.

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