Re. you memory upgrade, you may have 2 x 128MB installed, so be aware that by adding a 512MB module you would end up with 640MB and not 768MB. You can check your ram configuration under Apple System Profiler in the Apple menu (top left of the screen). Good luck. Chris -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: new pismo owner
Re. you memory upgrade, you may have 2 x 128MB installed Thanks for the warning, but it has 1 x 256MB, with one slot open. I'm still wondering who buys the 'low power' RAM? I'm interested because the main reason I bought the Pismo is to do fanless audio recording, and although I really don't want to pay 2 or 3 times the going rate for RAM, I do want to do what I can to keep the fan from coming on. But I assume the 'low power' refers more to battery drain than heat generated. Stephen -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Thanks for your reply. Did you put your original drive in an external Firewire enclosure? I'm thinking of putting my OEM 10 GB drive in a cutie enclosure from Firewire Depot. That's a cool enclosure. I would have gotten one like it, but i sold the drive on the swaplist. :-) -Hal -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

New Pismo Owner - G4, Upgrade Questions
Hello, I am a new Pismo 400MHz/256/10 GB/DVD owner ($700) and this is my first post to this list. I am migrating to the Pismo from a Umax s900 to do fanless (hopefully) audio reccording via Firewire (MOTU 828) interface. And I am interested in getting some feedback about Pismo upgrades. 1) G4 upgrade. I was planning on going Powerlogix, mainly because it is only $279 for Austin TX, residents. Any reason to prefer Newer? 2) Ram upgrade. I was planning on getting 1 new 512 MB stick from OWC. Any reasons to consider the much more expensive low power RAM? 3) CD upgrade. Looking at the IBM 40 GB Travelstar 5400/8 MB cache. Any thoughts on what may be a better choice? Thanks in andvance for any help from more experienced users.

Re: New Pismo Owner - G4, Upgrade Questions
I had a similarly configured Pismo and did all 3 upgrades. Here's my thoughts on each: On Monday, December 30, 2002, at 08:33 AM, Stephen Bright wrote: 1) G4 upgrade.
