P.S. Actually, Daystar will also sell the whole G4 processor. You get a G4/550 for $399, which is VERY expensive. The upgrade to your existing processor costs $289. Before spending $399 on the whole processor, though, plus RAM and HD and optical drive (1GB RAM + 40-80GB HD + Combo or Superdrive = $300-400), I'd consider a used Titanium, which you can find for considerably less than the upgraded Pismo would cost you.
Certainly the TiBook would be an improvement but I'm concerned about reduced wireless range with the TiBook (also the AlBooks though I really can't afford them). Since the Lombard spends all it's time around the house with a wireless card and the reception is marginal on the third floor I'm reluctant to get anything that doesn't get reception at least as good as the Lombard. I suppose I could use a Cardbus wireless card with the TiBook and it would work just as well as in the Lombard..... The other issue is that I have a bunch of expansion bay drives that will fit the Pismo but not anything later. I'll look into selling all the Lombard/Pismo extra expansion bay stuff and check TiBook prices.
It might make sense at the end of the day. Andrew in Ann Arbor technology is the answer, what was the question? -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
