ibook slower with airport?

2005-02-21 Thread kaldav
Hello, I have an airport card in an ibook (500 mhz, dual usb) and wonder if I got an Airport base station, would the dial in connection to the internet be much slower than using the modem cable? Thanks. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronics

Installing a printer

2005-02-21 Thread mlh/home
So, I have the OS X drivers for my Canon i470D printer. My printer is available via the network as it is attached to a print server device. I install the printer drivers on my G4 iBook by running the installation file. I try to add the new printer and the one I have is not on the list of Canon

Thanks to all for the advice. Saturday I went to the monthly mac users group meeting www.mactechnics.org where I swapped two 520 powerbooks for an old 4Gb drive and SCSI enclosure. The drive sounded like a jet engine but I was able to copy everything off the Lombard, re-initialize the hard

More RAM, trade offs ??? (was Memory from iMac G4 to AlBook ?

2005-02-21 Thread Larry le Mac
Are there any trade offs with having 2x512MB in a PBook 15 1.5GHz? as opposed to one 512MB... Power consumption, battery ? Heat ? How much better would 1GB be than 768MB ? And, how much worse would 512MB be than 768MB ? (weird questions my speciality...) Larry

Crucial wants $480 for 1GB of RAM for a Powerbook G4. OWC wants $275 http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/add/6205/OWC27SAMSO1GB/ That's quite a price difference. Anyone have any experience with OWC, or other reputable brands that you'd recommend? TjL -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/
